Problema Solution
fIND THE intercepts and use them to graph the equation
2x+6y=12
Answer provided by our tutors
We find the x-intercept by solving the equation 2x + 6y = 12 for y = 0:
2x + 6*0 = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6
x-intercept is (6, 0).
We find the y-intercept by solving the equation 2x + 6y = 12 for x = 0:
2*0 + 6*y = 12
y = 12/6
y = 2
y-intercept is (0, 2).
The graph of the equation 2x + 6y = 12 is the straight line going trough the points (0, 2) and (6, 0).
