\

The equation is \"\"

\

\

First find the y-intercept.

\

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

\

\"\"                                (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

\

\"\"                                           (Apply zero product property: \"\")

\

The y-intercept is 4, so the graph intersects the y-axis at  (0, 4) \"\"

\

Next find the x-intercept.

\

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

\

\"\"                                  (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

\

\"\"                 (Add 3x to each side)

\

\"\"                                        (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                   (Divide each side by 3)

\

\"\"                                        (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                                       (Divide: \"\")

\

The x-intercept is 1.3, so the graph intersects the x-axis at (1.3, 0)

\

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

\

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2.     Plot the points.

\

3.     Draw a line through these points.
