Question

Find the x intercept. (Using the equation is more accurate, but I included a graph for reference)

Answer 1

For the X intercept you set y = 0 and solve for x

Y =
`- (8)/(3)`x + 9
0=
`- (8)/(3)`x + 9 subtract 9 from both sides
-9 =
`-(8)/(3) x` divide both sides by 3
-3 = -8x divide both sides by -8

`(3)/(8)` = x

X-intercept = (
`(3)/(8)`, 0)
