1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the given equation 6y2=2x26y - 2 = 2x - 2, find the x-intercept and y-intercept, and then graph the equation.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the equation:
6y2=2x26y - 2 = 2x - 2
Add 2 to both sides:
6y=2x6y = 2x
Divide both sides by 6:
y=2x6y = \frac{2x}{6}
y=13xy = \frac{1}{3}x
To find the x-intercept, we set y=0y = 0:
0=13x0 = \frac{1}{3}x
x=0x = 0
So, the x-intercept is (0,0)(0, 0).
To find the y-intercept, we set x=0x = 0:
y=13(0)y = \frac{1}{3}(0)
y=0y = 0
So, the y-intercept is (0,0)(0, 0).
Since both intercepts are at the origin (0,0)(0, 0), we need to find another point on the line.
Let's choose x=3x = 3. Then:
y=13(3)y = \frac{1}{3}(3)
y=1y = 1
So, the point (3,1)(3, 1) is on the line.

3. Final Answer

y=13xy = \frac{1}{3}x
