Question

Graph the linear equation. Describe the graph in the area provided. Be sure to give any x ory intercepts and to describe the slope as positive, negative, zero or undefined. 3x - 6y = 12

Answer 1

3x-6y=12

Express in slope-intercept form:

Solve for y:

3x-12 = 6y

6y=3x-12

y= (3x-12)/6

y = 0.5x-2

slope= 0.5

y-intercept = -2

So, one point is (0,-2)

Another point for example when y=0

0=0.5x-2

2=0.5x

x= 2/0.5

x= 4

(4,0)

With those 2 points, we can graph
