Mr. Davies spent $240 on lunch for his class. Sandwiches x cost $6 and drinks y cost $2. This can be represented by the equation 6x + 2y= 240. Use the x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation.

What do the x- and y-intercepts represent?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the equation:

6x + 2y = 240

Set x = 0 to find y-intercept

6(0) + 2y = 240
2y = 240
y = 120

(0,120) is the y-intercept

Set y = 0 to find x-intercept

6x + 2(0) = 240
6x = 240
x = 40

(40,0) is the x-intercept
