Question 354623
-x + 6y = -12
---
Let x = 0, then y = -2 giving you point(0,-2)
Let y = 0, then x = 6 giving you point (6,0)
---
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them.
{{{graph(400,300,-10,10,-10,15,(1/6)x-2)}}}
========================
x + 6y = 12
Let x = 0, then y = 2 giving you point (0,2)
Let y = 0, then x = 12 giving you point(12,0)
---
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them.
{{{graph(400,300,-10,10,-10,15,(-1/6)x + 2)}}}
============
Find the intersection of the two lines:
{{{graph(400,300,-10,20,-10,10,(-1/6)x+2,(1/6)x-2)}}}
============
Looks like (12,0)
