Question

The equation of a line is given below.2x+6y=-18Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept.Then use them to graph the line.X-intercept:0Х5?ca loxy-intercept:0?

Answer 1

Given equation of the line is

`2x+6y=-18`

Dividing both sides of the above equation by -18, we get

`(x)/(-9)+(y)/(-3)=1`

The line cuts the x axis at (-9,0) and the y axis at (0,-3).

Therefore, the x intercept is -9 and the y intercept is -3.

The graph of the line is shown below.
