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:
)
The y-intercept is 1.2.
\The co-ordinate point is (0, 1.2)
Next find the x-intercept.
\The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.
\ (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)
(Subtract 1.2 from each side)
(Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Divide each side by negative 4.8)
(Cancel common terms)
(Multiply numarator and denominator by 10)
(Multiply:
)
(Divide:
)
The x-intercept is .
The co-ordinate point is (, 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.
\The x-intercept is and y-intercept is 1.2.
