Sketch the straight line defined by the linear equation by finding the x- and y- intercepts.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve the linear equation for x. 
$6x-18y=12$ 
$6x=12$ 
$x=2$
Therefore, the x-intercept is (2,0).
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve the linear equation for y. 
$-18y=12$ 
$y=-\frac{2}{3}$
Therefore, the y-intercept is (0,-$\frac{2}{3}$).
Using these intercepts, we can sketch the line passing through these points, which is the line defined by the given linear equation.
