The values of x and y intercepts = (9,0) and (0,3) respectively.

What is the graph of a linear equation?

The graph of a linear equation is a straight line graph. The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y is equal to zero. The y-intercepts are the values of y for which x is equal to zero.

Mathematically; to calculate for x and y intercepts, we have:

x-intercept:

3x + 9(0) = 27

3x = 27

x = 27/3

x = 9

x-intercept = (9,0)

y-intercept:

3(0) + 9y = 27

9y = 27

y = 27/9

y = 3

y-intercept = (0,3)
