Independent Practice

Now practice solving some problems.


Find the x- and y-intercepts of the equation.


–6x + 3y = –9


A.
− 3 ; 3/2


B.
3/2; −3


C.
−3/2; 3


D.
3; −3/2

Answer 1

B.

3/2; −3

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x . To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y .

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

y-intercept(s): ( 0 , − 3 )
