Hello everyone, i am very confused by this question:

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

if any of you know how to do this please give me a full explanation!! thank you very much!!! :)

Answer:

Read the explanation down

Explanation:

This is a linear equation, because the equation does not have any exponents. Graph it by putting the equation into either slope-intercept form y=mx+b or point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1).

Isolate y by first adding 6x to each side:

9y=6x−18

Divide each side by 9:

y=23x−2

Now graph the line y=23x−2 by first plotting the y intercept at (0,−2), then connecting points with a slope of 23.

graph{2/3x-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
