Question

Find the x-and y-intercepts of the line. y=−4x−6

Answer 1

x-intercept: (-3/2, 0)

y-intercept: (0, -6)

Explanation:

We Know

The equation y = -4x - 6

Find x-intercept

We need to put 0 in for y

0 = -4x - 6

6 = -4x

x = -6/4 = -3/2

Find y-intercept

We need to put 0 in for x

y = -4(0) - 6

y = 0 - 6

y = - 6

So, x-intercept: (-3/2, 0)

y-intercept: (0, -6)
