Given

2x + 6y = -18

Find

x intercept and y intercept. Then use them to graph the line.

Step-by-step explanation

to find the y intercept , put x = 0

2(0) + 6y = -18

6y = -18

y = -3

now , put y = 0 to find the x intercept

2x + 6(0) = -18

2x = -18

x = -9

we have two points ; (0 , -3) and (-9 , 0)

plot these points on graph to make a line

Final Answer

Hence , the x intercept is -9 and y intercept is -3. The required graph is shown above.
