Question 167377: x+3y=-6

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+3y=-6
Isolate y.
Then use different values for x to find y.
All you need is 2 points to graph a straight line.
Your equation is linear and thus it forms a straight line.
The word linear means LINE.
Isolating y we get:
y = (-1/3)x - 2
Let x = 1 and simplify equation.
Then let x = 2 and simplify equation.
This will create two points for you to graph on the xy-plane.
Can you take it from here?
