Answer:

x=9

Explanation:

To find the x-coordinate, plug the y-coordinate into the equation and solve from there.

(0 = 2/3x - 6) (6 = 2/3x) (18 = 2x) 9 = x

Answer:

The value of x is 9 when y=0

x-coordinate is 9

Passing point (9,6)

Explanation:

We are given the equation of line
y=(2)/(3)x-6

The line passes through a point whose y-coordinate is 0.

We need to find x-coordinate of passing point whose y-coordinate is 0.

Put y=0 into the equation of line and solve for x


0=(2)/(3)x-6


6=(2)/(3)x


x=3* 3 = 9

Passing point (9,6)

Hence, The value of x is 9 when y=0
