Question

Choose the correct procedure used to graph the equation 15x - 5y = 30 using the intercepts method.

Answer 1

1. Solve the equation for y to get a y-intercept of (0, -6) and a slope of 3. Plot the y-intercept, count the slope to get another point and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Answer 2

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

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

Answer 4

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