Question 255102: How would i solve this linear equation? x+3y=6 using intercepts and checkpoints?
Answer by richwmiller(17219)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is an equation in two variables. As such it can't be solved for x and y at the same time. We can find pairs of x and y that satisfy the equation.
Pick an x and solve for y
the two best are usually when x=0 and when y=0
if x=0
y=2
(0,2)
when y=0 x=6
(6,0)
Plot those points and draw a line connecting them.
