Question

Give the x-intercept for the equation 6x + 3y = -9

Answer 1

-9/6 or -3/2

Explanation:

To find the x intercept, substitute y = 0 into the equation:

6x + 3(0) = -9

Now simplify,

6x + 0 = -9

6x = -9

x = -9/6 → -3/2

Tip: If you were finding the y-intercept, you would substitute x = 0 into the equation instead
