: Graph 3x + 2y = 6
This one is throwing me off because the way I figured this one was 3x-2y = 1 or -1 to get rid of the variable to find the cordinance. Can someone please help me with this one. Thanks This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph 3x + 2y = 6
This is the intercept method.
Let x=0 and solve for y:
3%280%29%2B2y=6
0%2B2y=6
2y=6
2y%2F2=6%2F2
y=3 Plot (0,3) This is the y-intercept at 3 on the y-axis.
Now let y=0 and solve for x:
3x%2B2%280%29=6
3x%2B0=6
3x=6
3x%2F3=6%2F3
x=2 Plot (2,0) This is the x-intercept at 2 on the x-axis.
Connect the two points and you should have a line that looks like:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-3x%2B6%29%2F2%29
Happy Calculating!!!
