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: )

                            (Divide each side by  negative 3)

                                    (Cancel common terms)

                                      (Divide: )  

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)

                                      (Simplify)

                                 (Divide each side by 3)

                                      (Cancel common terms)

                                        (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 3

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.

The x-intercept is 3 and y-intercept is .
