Question

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by this equation? −6x+3y=18.9−6x+3y=18.9 Enter your answers in the boxes in decimal form.

Answer 1

x intercept = -3.15

y intercept = 6.3

Explanation:

Given the expression

-6x+3y=18.9

x intercept occurs at y = 0

-6x+3(0)=18.9

-6x = 18.9

x = -18.9/6

x = -3.15

Hence the x intercept is -3.15

y intercept occurs at x= 0

-6(0)+3y=18.9

3y = 18.9

y = 18.9/3

y = 6.3

Hence the y intercept is 6.3
