Use intercepts to graph each equation. 6x-3y+15=0

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Rewrite the equation in standard form to make it easier to find the intercepts: 6x - 3y + 15 = 0.
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x. Substitute y = 0 into 6x - 3y + 15 = 0, which simplifies to 6x + 15 = 0. Solve for x.
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y. Substitute x = 0 into 6x - 3y + 15 = 0, which simplifies to -3y + 15 = 0. Solve for y.
Plot the x-intercept and y-intercept on the coordinate plane. The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.
Draw a straight line through the two intercepts to graph the equation. This line represents the solution to the equation 6x - 3y + 15 = 0.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Intercepts

Intercepts are points where a graph intersects the axes. The x-intercept occurs when y=0, and the y-intercept occurs when x=0. For the equation 6x - 3y + 15 = 0, finding these intercepts helps in plotting the graph accurately.
