@Directrix can you try to help me with this one? I have no clue how to do this one

directrix · Answer

Use the intercepts method:

The x intercept lies on the x axis.

The y coordinate of all points on the x axis is zero.

Let y = 0 and solve for x.

x + 3y= -6

x + 3*0 = -6       @abbycross167   Solve for x.

abbycross167 · Answer

x+0=-6

x= -6
that is as far as I got doing it by myself

directrix · Answer

The y intercept lies on the y axis.

 The x coordinate of all points on the y axis is zero.

 Let x = 0 and solve for y.

 0 + 3y= -6      Solve for y.

pls help me when you guys are done with this question

abbycross167 · Answer

-6/3= -2?

directrix · Answer

Be careful not to lose the variable when you are solving equations.

 0 + 3y= -6 

        3y = -6

           y = -2

You have the -2 but lost whether it is the value of y or x.

directrix · Answer

Plot the points (6,0) and (0,-2).

Then draw the line connecting them.
