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)
(Zero product property:
)
(Subtract:
)
The y-intercept is .
The co-ordinate point is
Next find the x-intercept.
\The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.
\ (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)
(Add 2 to each side)
(Apply Additive inverse property:
)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
(Divide each side by 3)
(Cancel common terms)
The x-intercept is .
The co-ordinate point is
Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.
\1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2. Plot the points.
\3. Draw a line through these points.
\For the graph using x-intercept is and y-intercept is
