Graph 3x + 6y = 18

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first convert to y = mx + b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you have to simplify 3x + 6y = 18 3x + 6y = 18 6y=-3x+18 y=-3/6x+3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have 3x + 6y = 18 6y = -3x + 18 y = -3/6 + 18/6 so y = -1/2x + 3

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

You guys do realize that standard form is the fastest way to get two intercepts and easily determine the line?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now you have that the y-int = 3 and it is a negative slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can tell the graph will be negative because the x is negative so b and c is out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So a

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you can find the x-intercept to see where the line cross on x so when y = 0 you have 3x + 6(0) = 18 3x = 18 x = 6, so it cross on (6,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its a because y=-3/6x+3, 3 is the y axis and and choice a is negative and has a y axis of 3.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

or, you guys can completely ignore my advice. :<

sorry, this is jst the way I do it :)
