You will need to substitute 0 and solve for a variable twice before graphing.
We will graph this equation by finding and plotting its intercepts, then connecting them with a line. To find the x- and y-intercepts, we will need to substitute 0 for one variable, solve, then repeat for the other variable.
y= 0
Zero Property of Multiplication
Subtract term
.LHS /6.=.RHS /6.
An x-intercept of 3 means that the graph passes through the x-axis at the point ( 3,0).
x= 0
Zero Property of Multiplication
Identity Property of Addition
.LHS /-2.=.RHS /-2.
We can now graph the equation by plotting the intercepts and connecting them with a line.
