Question

Construct the graph of the equation given by solving for the intercepts. Show all of the steps

Answer 1

Answer:

  see below for the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept form of a linear equation is ...

  x/(x-intercept) + y(y-intercept) = 1

You can put the given equation into this form by dividing by -2. Then you have ...

  -x/(-2) +y/(-2) = 1

  x/2 + y/(-2) = 1 . . . . . the x-intercept is 2; the y-intercept is -2

The graph shows the line through these points.
