Graph this line using intercepts: 3x + y = -6 Click to select points on the graph.

Graph this line using intercepts:
3x + y = -6
Click to select points on the graph.

Answer

To graph the line using intercepts, find the x-intercept and y-intercept:

  1. X-intercept: Set y = 0 in the equation 3x + y = -6.
    3x + 0 = -6
    3x = -6
    x = -2
    The x-intercept is (-2, 0).
  2. Y-intercept: Set x = 0 in the equation 3x + y = -6.
    3(0) + y = -6
    y = -6
    The y-intercept is (0, -6).

Plot the points (-2, 0) and (0, -6) on the graph and draw a line through them to represent the equation 3x + y = -6.
