Consider the following equation.- 7y = - 42Step 2 of 2: Graph the equation by plotting the x- and y-intercepts. If an Intercept does not exist, or is duplicated, use another point on the line toplot the graph.

Answer :

The equation given is:

[tex]-7y=-42[/tex]

by solving it for y we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -7y=-42 \\ y=\frac{-42}{-7} \\ y=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This means two things; first this in an horizontal line, second the points of the line will always have a y component equal to 6; therefore the y intercept is 6 and there is no x-intercept.

Using the y-intercept (0,6) and the point (1,6) we plot the line:
