Question

What is the x-intercept of y =2/3x + 2

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

Answer 2

(-3, 0)

Explanation:

X-intercept occurs when y=0.

Hence subst. y=0 into the equation.

`y = (2)/(3) x + 2`

When y=0,

`0 = (2)/(3) x + 2 \\ (2)/(3)x + 2 = 0 \\ (2)/(3) x = - 2 \\ 2x = - 2(3) \\ 2x = - 6 \\ x = - 6 / 2 \\ x = - 3`

Thus, the x-intercept is at (-3, 0)
