Question 79811: Graph the linear equation by finding and plotting its intercepts. Please help me slove this problem 6x-18y=0 I came up with
6x-18y=0
6(0)-18y=0----- 6x-18(0)=0
0-18y-0----- 6x-0 =0
y=0----- x=0
(0,0) ------- (0,0)
PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS WRONG, I NEED THIS BY SUNDAY AM -THANK YOU

What you did is correct. Unfortunately, when you find the x and y intercepts, you get the same point (0,0). You need to get another point or find the slope in order to draw the line. To get another point, choose an appropriate value of x, say x=3. From this you can easily see that y=1. So plot this point, as well as (0,0), and connect the dots.
