Question 57255: I have a problem that needs graphed and don't know how to do it. I how to show it on the computer how it looks and can't use paper.
I need to graph using the intercept method: x + 3y = 6
Thank you so much,

Choosing x=0 gives y=2, and if x=3, then y=1. There are your two pairs, so just plot them and draw a line between them. The graph is:
