The equation is .
First find the y-intercept.
\The y-intercept is the value of y, when .
(Substitute
in original equation)
(Multiply each side by negative one)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
The y-intercept is 3, so the graph intersects the y-axis at (0, 3)
The x-intercept is the value of x, when .
(Substitute
in original equation)
(Additive identity property:
)
The x-intercept is – 3, so the graph intersects the x-axis at (, 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.
