Question 335468: Which of the following is not a step used when graphing the equation x + 3y = 9 using the intercepts method?
Explain the correct order of steps needed to graph this equation, using the intercepts method.
Plot the y-intercept (0, 3).
Plot the x-intercept (9, 0).
Draw a line through the two points.
Count down 1 and right 3 from the y-intercept.
