The linear function is
.
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
\
(Substitute 0 for x)
(Apply Zero propduct property:
)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
Apply division property of equality: if a = b, then
.
(Divide each side by negative 6)
(Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
The y-intercept is
2. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0,
2).
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.

The x-intercept is 6. The graph crosses the x-axis at (6, 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.
