Answer:

So the x-intercept is (9,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-3).

So I'm going to graph both points and connect them with a straight-edge.

Explanation:

I would graph this using it's x- and y-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept, set y=0.

-3x+9(0)=-27

-3x+0=-27

-3x=-27

Divide both sides by -3:

x=9

To find the y-intercept, set x=0:

-3(0)+9y=-27

0 +9y=-27

9y=-27

Divide both sides by 9:

y=-3

So the x-intercept is (9,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-3).

So I'm going to graph both points and connect them with a straight-edge.
