Question

Use the intercepts to graph the equation x+3y=6

Answer 1

what are the intercepts? any idea how to find those?

Answer 2

I think they are (0,-10) and (-10,0)

Answer 3

You find them by setting one variable equal to zero.

y-int means x=0
x-int means y=0

set x=0 and solve
then set y=0 and solve

Now what do you get?

Answer 4

x=(6,0) and y=(0,2)

Answer 5

Very good!, but be careful of the notation:
if you mean
x-int is (6,0)
y-int is (0,2)
that is correct, but writing x=... can lead to confusion.
Can you graph it from here?

Answer 6

yes thank you so much
