HOW DO I GRAPH THE LINE WHOSE Y-INTERCEPT IS 6 AND WHOSE X-INTERCEPT IS 4?

draw a point on your graph at (0,6) this is the y intercept
draw a point on your graph at (4,0) this is the x intercept

use your trusty straight edge and pencil to connect those two points with a line.

You can also use the 2 intercept form to then figure out the y=mx+b form where you can use a table to plot additional points.

Step 1:
(X/4)+(Y/6)=1

Step 2:
Subtract X/4 from both sides
Y/6 = -(X/4) + 1

Step 3:
Multiply both sides by 6
Y = -1.5X + 1

Step 4 and 5:
Create table and graph using
