Question

How do you graph using the intercepts for `-18x + 3y = -12`?

Answer 1

Solve for the intercepts, then draw a straight line between them.

Explanation:

Solving for the intercepts yields:

`-18(0)+3y=-12`
`y=-4`

`-18x+3(0)=-12`
`x=2/3`

So plot the points `(0,-4)` and `(2/3,0)` and draw a straight line connecting them.
