Question 1078098

A store sells juice boxes in packages of 6 boxes and 8 boxes. They have 288 juice boxes. This is represented by the function 6x+8y=288. Use the x- and y- intercepts to graph the equation. Then intercept the x- and y-intercepts. I'VE been trying for hours. Please help! 
<pre>6x + 8y = 288
6(0) + 8y = 288 ------- Substituting 0 for x
8y = 288
{{{matrix(1,5, y, "=", 288/8, or, 36)}}}
Therefore, {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,4, y-intercept, "is:", "(0,", "36)"))}}} 

6x + 8y = 288
6x + 8(0) = 288 ------- Substituting 0 for y
6x = 288
{{{matrix(1,5, x, "=", 288/6, or, 48)}}}
Therefore, {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,4, x-intercept, "is:", "(48,", "0)"))}}}
Plot these 2 points on the coordinate plane, and CONNECT them. You now have your graph.
