You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Put into y = mx + b format
where b is the y intercept
...
y = -2x + 6
y intercept is 6
plot(0, 6)
x intercept is where y = 0
0 = -2x + 6
-6 = -2x
-6%2F-2 = x
x = 3
Plot (3,0)
...
Draw a line between the intercepts
...
Choose any number for x and solve for y
if x = 2
y = -2(2) + 6 = -4+6 = 2
Plot (2,2)
