$\"\"$

\

The expression is $\"\"$ .

\

The equation is in slope-intercept form.

\

To graph the equation, first graph the $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 3)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract x from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms) $\"\"$

\

First find the y-intercept.

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

Next find the x-intercept

\

The co-ordinate point is $\"\"$ $\"\"$

\ \

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

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Zero product property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add x to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

Next find the y-intercept.

\

The co-ordinate point is (3, 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.
