To solve for

1. Add 3 to both sides.

2. Multiply both sides by .

To find the -intercept.

Substitute 0 for and then solve for the value of

The -intercept will be the ordered pair where is the value of computed when

To find the -intercept.

Substitute 0 for and then solve for the value of . It will be the value of the constant term on the right hand side of your original equation.

The -intercept will be the ordered pair where is the value of computed when

The slope is the coefficient on in your original equation.

Find three ordered pairs to graph

You already have two points, namely the two intercepts. Select a value for that is neither 0 nor the value you calculated when you were determining the -intercept. Substitute this value for in your original equation and then calculate the resulting value for . The ordered pair for your third point will be where is the value you selected and is the value you calculated.
