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 additive identity property:
)
The y-intercept is 3, 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)
(Subtract:
)
(Multiply each side by negative one)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
The x-intercept is , so the graph intersects the x-axis at (
, 0).
Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.
