Question

Graph the function y = 6 – 2x. Click the intercepts to show the coordinates.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's find and use the intercepts. They speed up graphing of lines.

y-intercept: In y = 6 – 2x, let x = 0. Then y = 6, and the y-intercept is (0, 6).

x-intercept: In y = 6 – 2x, let y = 0. Then 2x = 6, and x = 3. The x-intercept is therefore (3, 0).

Plot these two points and then draw a line through both.
