Question 65765This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
: Graph the following equation, using the intercept method.
2x + 3y = 6
I am a bit confusded on how to graph these since there are two variables. If I worked the problem right I came up with 1.
2x + 3y = 5

6-5 = 1
This is as far as I got. This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

TRO PUT THESE EQUATIONS IN THE LINE FORM WE HAVE:
2X+3Y=6
3Y=-2X+6
Y=-2X/3+6/3
Y=-2X/3+2 THUS THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE OF -2/3 & A Y INTERCEPT OF 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2X+3Y=5
3Y=-2X=5
Y=-2X/3+5/3 THUS THIS LINE ALSO HAS A SLOPE OF -2/3 & A Y INTERCEPT OF 5/3
