Question

D) (0, 10) Question 8 (5 points) Calculate the x-intercept of the line that goes with the equation below. y = 1/3x - 12 A) (-40) B) (4.0) c) (-3,0) D) (36,0)

Answer 1

x-intercept 1) To calculate the x-intercept of the linear function. Simply rewrite it as an equation.

So

y = 1/3x -12

0 = 1/3x -12

-1/3x=-12 x -3

x=36

2) The x intercept has, y =0 as we did algebraically. So the answer is

D(36,0)
