Find the x- and y-intercepts and graph the equation -6x-3y=27, plotting the intercepts.
-----------------------
-6x-3y=27
x-intercept = ?
Let y = 0,
then -6x = 27
x = -4.5
-----------
y-intercept = ?
Let x = 0,
then -3y = 27
y = -9
--------------------------
Plot (-4.5,0) and (0,-9)
Draw a line thru them to see the graph.
