Answer:

D) (18,0) is the solution

Explanation:

Both already equal y so set the equation to each other to find x

-1/3x + 6 = 1/3x - 6

subtract 6 from both sides

-1/3x = 1/3x

divide both sides by 1/3

-x = x

The answer must be 0 because that is the only number that works

Now we have (x, y)

To solve for y pick either equation (whichever one seems easier) and set y to 0

0 = 1/3x - 6

6 = 1/3x

18 = x

y intercept because it will come up later:

plug in 0 for x for y intercept

y = 1/3x - 6

y = 1/3(0) - 6

y = -6

y = -1/3x + 6

y = 0 + 6

y = 6

y intercepts are (0, 6) and (0, -6)
