Chapter 3: Q. 47 (page 252)

Graph the equation x+y=-3using the intercepts.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph of the given equation is

.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The equation is given as x+y=-3for the graph.

02

Find the intercepts

Apply the definition of the intercepts to find the intercepts of the given equation.

  • The intercepts of the given equation are the points where the corresponding variables become zero.
  • Hence substitute the associated variables zero into the given equation to find the required intercepts.

x+y=-3x+0=-3x=-3x+y=-30+y=-3y=-3

03

Graph the equation using the intercepts

The graph of the linear equation is a straight line that passes through its intercepts.

  • As obtained, the intercepts of the given equation are (-3,0) and (0,-3).
  • Hence join the intercepts using a straight line to get the required graph of the equation.
