Graph the equation 6x+2y=30 by finding the intercepts.

Step 1. It takes two point to graph a line. Consider first point (0,b) which is the y-intercept. So at x=0 then 6*0+2=30 or y=15=b. So one point is (0,15)

Step 2. Consider the point (a,0) or the x-intercept point. Then 6x+2*0=30=a or x=5. So the other point is (5,0).

Step 3. Using the points (0,15) and (5,0) we have the following graph:

I hope the above steps were helpful.
