Explanation:
The x-intersection coordinate of the equation 3x+2y=-18 is (x,0)
Hence, y=0
3x+2(0)=-18
3x+0=-18
3x=-18
Divide both parts of the equation by 3:
x=-6
Thus, (-6,0)
3x + 2y = -18
Set y = 0
3x + 2 × 0 = -18
3x + 0 = -18
3x = -18
x = -6
.: the x-intercept = -6
You can choose to put it in coordinate form (-6, 0).
