Question

Find the x-intercept of the graph of the linear equation y = -1/2 x + 3? x-intercept =

Answer 1

In order to find the x intercept of a line we simply set y=0.

In this case

`0=-(1)/(2)x+3`

we solve the equation

`-3=-(1)/(2)x`
`(-3)(-2)=x`
`x=6`

And so, the x-intercept of the line is the point (6,0).
