GRAPH -1/3x -1/4y=1/2 steps plz

Question

aum · Answer

To get rid of the fractions, multiply throughout by 12 which is the least common denominator of 3, 4 and 2.  What do you get?

aum · Answer

-1/3x  - 1/4y = 1/2
multiply by 12 to get rid of fractions:
-4x - 3y = 6
multiply by -1 to get rid of negative sign on the left:
4x + 3y = -6

This is a straight line.  To graph it all you need is 2 points.
Put x = 0 in the equation and find y.  That will be the y-intercept.  Mark this point on the graph on the y-axis.  Then put y = 0 and find x.  That will be the x-intercept.  Mark this point on the graph on the x-axis. Draw a straight line passing through the two points.
