Find two vaules for
Explanation:
The easiest method is by finding two coordinates.
Find two vaules for
To find a co-ordinate, we must pick any
Let's pick
Then substitute into the equation:
So the first coordinate is
Then repeat picking a different
Assume
Second coordinate:
Then simply sketch a line between
