Question

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation −2x 12y=18 enter your answer in the box. (?, 0)

Answer 1

I did this test too! The answer was (-9, 0)

Answer 2

x-intercept of the given line is, (-9, 0)

Explanation:

x-intercept says that a line crosses the x-axis

Substitute y = 0 and solve for x.

As per the statement:

An equation of line is given as:

`-2x+2y = 18`

To find the x-intercept:

Substitute y = 0 and solve for x:

`-2x+12(0) = 18`

⇒-2x = 18

Divide both sides by -2 we get;

x = -9

Therefore, the x-intercept of the line is, (-9, 0)
