Question

Find x- and y-intercepts. Write ordered pairs representing the points where the line crosses the axes. y=6x

Answer 1

The line crosses the axes at point (0,0)

Explanation:

we have

`y=6x`

This is a linear equation that represent a proportional relationship, because this line passes through the origin

Verify

Remember that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

For y=0

`0=6x`

`x=0`

The x-intercept is the point (0,0)

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For x=0

`y=6(0)`

`y=0`

The y-intercept is the point (0,0)

therefore

The line crosses the axes at point (0,0)
