Question

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation 1/3 x+y=−15?

Answer 1

The x-intercept is -5.

Explanation:

In order to find the x intercept, you need to put a 0 in for y and find the value of x.

1/3x + y = -15

1/3x + 0 = -15

1/3x = -15

x = -5

Therefore, the x-intercept is -5.
