Question 569246
easy way for intercepts


x equals zero at the y-intercept and y equals zero at the x-intercept


take the standard form equation and ignore the term that your not finding the intercept of (because the term equals zero)


3x + 2y = 6 ___ 


ignoring the y-term ___ 3x = 6 ___ x = 2 ___ the x-intercept is (0,2)


ignoring the x-term ___ 2y = 6 ___ y = 3 ___ the y-intercept is (3,0)


graph the equation by locating the two intercepts and drawing the line through the two points


the slope is also easy ___ -(y-intercept) / (x-intercept) ___ -3 / 2
