Chapter 3: Q. 57 (page 252)

Graph a line using the intercepts.
$y = - 2 x$

Short Answer

Expert verified

x-intercept is $(0, 0)$

y-intercept is $(0, 0)$

The graph is

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

The equation of a line is

$y = - 2 x$

Step 2. Finding x-intercepts

Plug $y = 0$ and find $x -$ value

$0 = - 2 x - 2 x = 0 x = \frac{0}{- 2}$

$x = 0$

so, the x-intercept is $(0, 0)$

Step 3. Finding y-intercept

Plug $x = 0$ and find $y -$ value

$y = - 2 脳 0 y = 0$

So, the y-intercept is $(0, 0)$

Step 4. Finding any two points.

Select any random values of $x$ and find $y -$ values

$x$	$y = - 2 x$
$- 1$	$2$
$1$	$- 2$

Step 5. Sketching the graph of a line

Locate points $(0, 0), (- 1, 2), (1, - 2)$ on the graph and join them to get the graph.
