here's what the graph looks like.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept = -3
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept = 6
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "all the different froms of the equation shown on the graph point to the same line on the graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's because they're equivalent.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "those equations and the common line are in red.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the lines in black intersect with the line in red. they are there to show the coordinate points.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can see from the graph that the y-intercept is the point (0,-3) and the x-intercept is the point (6,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "the x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the slope is the change in the value of y divided by the corresponding change in the value of x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can choose any two points on the line to find the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "on this graph, the two points chosen are (0,-3) and (6,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you go from (0,-3) to (6,0).
\n" ); document.write( "slope is (0 - -3) / (6 - 0) = 3/6 = 1/2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the x-axis is the vertical line where the value of x = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "the y-axis is the horizontal line where the value of y = 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
