Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

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.

Answer 4

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.
