Question 226708: use the intercepts to graph the equation
x+3y=6
Answer by drj(1380)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the intercepts to graph the equation
Step 1. Intercepts means one of the coordinates is zero. The y-intercept "b" occurs when x=0 or at point (0,b) and the x-intercept "a" occurs when y=0 or at (a,0)
Step 2. At x=0, then x+3y=6 or -0+3y=6 or y=2 after dividing by 5 to both sides of the equation. So we have (0,2) as one point
Step 3. At y=0, then x+3y=6 or x+3*0=6 or x=6. And we have another point at (6,0).
Use these two points (0,2) and (6,0) to graph as shown below:
I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
