Question

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 6x + 2y = 11. Then graph the equation.

The x-intercept is 3.
The y-intercept is

Answer 1

y=3.5

Explanation:

6x + 2y = 11

6(3) + 2y = 11

18 + 2y = 11

-18 -18

2y = - 7

/2 /2

y = -3.5

Answer 2

y-intercept = 3.5

Explanation:

The equation is given by the following straight line formula:

6x + 2y = 11

The y -intercept occurs when x = 0, that is, when x = 0, y is given by:

`2y = 11\\ y = 5.5`

The x-intercept occurs when y = 0, then:

`6x = 11\\ x = (11)/(6)`

Thus, the x-intercept is given by the point (
`(11)/(6)` , 0)

The x-intercept is given by the point (0 , 5.5)
