Question 413164: use the intercepts to graph the equation: x + 3y = 6
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "use the intercepts to graph the equation: x + 3y = 6"
To get the x-intercept, put 0 in for y:
x + 3(0) = 6 {substituted 0 in for y}
x = 6 {x-intercept}
To get the y-intercept, put 0 in for x:
0 + 3y = 6 {substituted 0 in for x}
3y = 6
y = 2 {y-intercept}
The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis, and
the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis
To graph:
put a point on 6 on the x-axis (the x-intercept), and
put a point on 2 on the y-axis (the y-intercept, and
draw a line through the two points
