Given:

Linear equation 2x + 4y = -12.

To find:

Using x and y intercept find graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercept form of straight line


(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1

Where a , b are x and y intercept.

Solution:

We will use intercept form


\begin{gathered} 2x+4y=-12 \\ (x)/(-6)+(y)/(-3)=1 \end{gathered}

So, (-6, 0) and (0, -3) are intercept on x and y axis respectively.

Now, graph of equation is

Hence, this is the required graph.
