Step 1
Given by is the equation for a line with x-intercepts (a, 0) and (b, 0).
xa+yb=1
Step 2
We have given x-intercept: (3,0); y-intercept: (0,6).
Step 3
Using the intercept form, we have the equation
x3+y6=1
Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the fractions.
6(x3+y6)=6
2x+y=6
Step 4
Therefore, the equation of the line for the given intercepts is 2x+y=6.
