How do you graph this equation x plus 3y equal 6 please help?

Answer 1

x+3y=6

3y=6+x

y=2+x/3

So the best way is to plot the intercepts (easiest) which are:

if

x=0

therefore y=2 (0,2) is an intercept on the y-axis

y=0

0=2+x/3

-2=x/3

-6=x

so (-6,0) is the x-axis intercept

so plot those points and join a straight line through there. All you have to do is get two points since it is a straight line and will not turn and just draw a line through that.
