Question

Choose the correct procedure used to graph the equation 3x + 9y = -18 using the intercepts method.

Solve the equation for y to get a y-intercept of (0, -2) and a slope of -1/3. Plot the y-intercept, count the slope to get another point and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Answer 1

Choose two different values; plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values. Plot the two points and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Let x equal zero and solve for y to find a y-intercept of (0, -2). Let y equal zero and solve for x to find an x-intercept of (-6, 0).

Answer 2

Solve the equation for y to get a y-intercept of (0, -2) and a slope of -1/3. Plot the y-intercept, count the slope to get another point and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Choose two different values; plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values. Plot the two points and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Let x equal zero and solve for y to find a y-intercept of (0, -2). Let y equal zero and solve for x to find an x-intercept of (-6, 0). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points.

Solve the equation for y to find an intercept of (-2, 0); solve the equation for x to find a y-intercept of (0, -6). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points.

Answer 3

Let x equal zero and solve for y to find a y-intercept of (0, -2). Let y equal zero and solve for x to find an x-intercept of (-6, 0). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points
The third option is the correct one to plot using the intercept point.
Other options also gives the correct procedure for making the line but the question mentioned the intercept method.
