Graphing a line:

To graph a line, we find the x-intercept and the y-intercept, and trace a line passing through them.

In this question:

-6y = -7x + 42

y-intercept:

y when x = 0. So

-6y = -7*0 + 42

-6y = 42

6y = -42

y = -42/6

y = -7

x-intercept:

x when y = 0. So

-6*0 = -7x + 42

-7x + 42 = 0

7x = 42

x = 42/7

x = 6
