Question

Find the x- and y -intercepts of the graph of the linear equation -6x+9y=-18 .

The x -intercept is
.

The y -intercept is
.

Answer 1

The x -intercept is (3, 0)

The y -intercept is (0, - 2)

Explanation:

Given equation is: -6x + 9y = -18

To find x - intercept:

Plug y = 0 in the given equation.

-6x + 9(0) = - 18

-6x + 0 = -18

-6x = - 18

x = (-18)/(-6)

x = 3

The x -intercept is (3, 0)

To find y - intercept:

Plug x = 0 in the given equation.

-6(0) + 9y= - 18

0 + 9y = -18

9y = - 18

y = (-18)/(9)

y = - 2

The y -intercept is (0, - 2)

Answer 2

x intercept = (3,0)


y intercept= (0,-2)
