Question

How do you draw the line with the x intercept of 2 and y intercept of-6?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The `x`-intercept of `2` can be written as: `(2, 0 )` and we plot this on the grid as:

graph{((x - 2)^2 + y^2 - 0.125) = 0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

The `y`-intercept of `-6` can be written as: `(0, -6 )` and we plot this on the grid as:

graph{((x - 2)^2 + y^2 - 0.125)(x^2 + (y + 6)^2 - 0.125) = 0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

We can now draw a line through the two points to graph the line:

graph{(y -3x+6)((x - 2)^2 + y^2 - 0.125)(x^2 + (y + 6)^2 - 0.125) = 0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
