Question

Find the x-intercept and

the y-intercept from the
following linear equation:
9x + 3y = 27

Answer 1

(3,0) (0,9)

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, y must equal 0

9x+3(0)=27 substitute

9x=27 divide

x=3 (3,0)

To find the y-intercept, x must equal 0

9(0)+3y=27 substitute

3y=27 divide

y=9 (0,9)

Answer 2

x-intercept: (3,0)

y-intercept: (0,9)
