Question

What is the x-intercept of: 3y+x=6?

Answer 1

The x-intercept is the value of x when y=0, is the point of the function where the line intersects with the x-axis.

To calculate said point you have to replace the formula with y=0 and solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} 3y+x=6 \\ 3\cdot0+x=6 \\ x=6 \end{gathered}`

The coordinates for the x-intercept of the given function are (6, 0)
