Find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation. Please show all of your work. Then graph the equation and submit your graph through the dropbox.
y = -2x – 6
-----
x-intercept ?
Let y = 0, then -2x = 6, and x = -3
---
y-intercept ?
Let x = 0, then y = -6
----
Plot (-3,0) and (0,-6) and draw a line thru them to get:
