Confirming to Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx%2Bb
x-2y=6----->2y=x-6----->cross%282%29y%2Fcross%282%29=%28x-6%29%2F2
y=%281%2F2%29x-%286%2F2%29
y=%281%2F2%29x-3
We let fhighlight%28%28y%29=0%29;
0=%281%2F2%29x-3
%281%2F2%29x=3, cross multiply
highlight%28x=6%29
.
fhighlight%28y=1%29;
1=%281%2F2%29x-3
1%2B3=%281%2F2%29x----->4=%281%2F2%29x, cross multiply
highlight%28x=8%29
.
fhighlight%28y=2%29
2=%281%2F2%29x-3
2%2B3=%281%2F2%29x----->5=%281%2F2%29x, cross multiply
highlight%28x=10%29
.
fhighlight%28y=3%29
3=%281%2F2%29x-3
3%2B3=%281%2F2%29x----->6=%281%2F2%29x, cross multiply
highlight%28x=12%29
.
fhighlight%28y=4%29;
4=%281%2F2%29x-3
4%2B3=%281%2F2%29x----->7=%281%2F2%29x, cross multiply
highlight%28x=14%29
Let's plot the points generated (6,0);(8,1);(10,2);(12,3); & (14,4)
