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

Step-by-step 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.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
