Question

Construct the graph of the equation given by solving for the intercepts. Show all of the steps

in finding the intercepts and then plot the intercepts to create the graph. Label the intercepts,
as well as the axis on the graph.
-X+ y = -2

Answer 1

see below for the graph

Explanation:

The intercept form of a linear equation is ...

x/(x-intercept) + y(y-intercept) = 1

You can put the given equation into this form by dividing by -2. Then you have ...

-x/(-2) +y/(-2) = 1

x/2 + y/(-2) = 1 . . . . . the x-intercept is 2; the y-intercept is -2
