SOLUTION: #3 Graph. I am so confused. I can get the problem, but I can't draw up the graph... P (0 , 3) is the intersection where the lines cross. 1st line: - X intercept: P(3, 0) - Y

Question 184938: #3 Graph.
I am so confused. I can get the problem, but I can't draw up the graph...
P (0 , 3) is the intersection where the lines cross.
1st line:
- X intercept: P(3, 0)
- Y intercept: P(0,3)
2nd line:
- X intercept: P(-3,0)
- Y intercept: P(0,3)
what does this look like in a graph?
Thanks.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1st line:
- X intercept: P(3, 0)
- Y intercept: P(0,3)
---------
Graphing procedure:
To plot (3,0)
1st: Put your pencil at the point where the x-axis meets the y-axis: (0,0)
2nd: Move your pencil 3 units to the right on the x-axis and make a point: (3,0)
To plot (0,3)
1st: Put you pencil at the (0,0) point
2nd: Move your pencil 3 units up the y-axis and make a point (0,3)
----------
Draw a line thru the two points you have plotted; that is your graph.

2nd line:
- X intercept: P(-3,0)
To plot (-3,0)
1st: Start at (0,0) and move 3 to the left on the x-axis to make a point: (-3,0)
-------
- Y intercept: P(0,3)
1st: Start at (0,0) and move 3 up the y-axis to make a point: (0,3)
----------
Draw a line thru the two points; that is your graph.
