Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the x-intercept
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x:
6x + 3(0) = 6
6x = 6
x = 1
The x-intercept is (1, 0).
Step 2: Find the y-intercept
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y:
6(0) + 3y = 6
3y = 6
y = 2
The y-intercept is (0, 2).
Step 3: Identify the correct graph
The correct graph should have an x-intercept at (1, 0) and a y-intercept at (0, 2). Graph 'c' is the only graph that satisfies these conditions.
