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)

            (Multiply:  )

               (Apply additive identity property: )

  (Multiply each side by negative one)

                     (Product of two same signs is positive)

                (Divide each side by  6)

                    (Cancel common terms)

                         (Divide: )

The y-intercept is , so the graph intersects the y-axis at .

Next find the x-intercept.

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

        (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

            (Multiply:  )

                  (Additive identity property: )

             (Divide each side by  2)

                  (Cancel common terms)

                       (Divide: )

The x-intercept is ,so the graph intersects the x-axis at.

Graph Using Intercepts:

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.

x-intercept is and y-intercept is .
