Find the x and y intercepts.
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
-3x%2B6y=36+
-3x=36+
x=-12
(-12,0)
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
-3x%2B6y=36+
6y=36
y=6
(0,6)
Plot the points and connect them with a line.

-x+2y=-8
Find the x and y intercepts.
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
-x%2B2y=-8
-x=-8+
x=8
(8,0)
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
-x%2B2y=-8+
2y=-8
y=-4
(0,-4)
Plot the points and connect them with a line.
