Question

The equation of a line is -6x - 2y = -18. What is the x-intercept & y-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

Answer: y int: (0,9) x int: (3,0)

Explanation:

In slope intercept form, the equation is y=-3x+9. In the formula y=mx+b, we know b is the y intercept, so our y int. is 9. To find our x intercept, we set y=0. So, 0=-3x+9=>3x=9=>x=3
