Question

How do you graph the equation by plotting points `x – 2y = 6`?

Answer 1

We have the equation, `x - 2y = 6`

Since this is the equation of a straight line thus obtaining 2 points on the line shall be sufficient.

First put `x=0`
This gives, `y= -3`

Now, put `y = 0`
This gives, `x=6`

Thus points `(0,-3)` and `(6,0)` lie on the line.

Plot the two points and join them with a ruler and you're done.
