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 multiplication property of zero: )

The y-intercept is 8. 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)

      (Add 6x to each side)

                             (Apply additive inverse property: ) 

                        (Divide each side by 6)

                             (Cancel common terms)

                            (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 1.3, so the graph intersects the x-axis at .

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.   Draw a line through the points.
