find the x- and y- intercepts of each linear function. then use the intercepts to graph the funciton.
a) y = -2 + 2x _____________________
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0
0 = -2 + 2x
x = 1 --> (1,0)
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0
y = -2 --> (0,-2)
Then draw a straight line thru the 2 points.

b) x - 3y = -3 _______________________
