Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

To find the x- intercept, where the line crosses the x- axis, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x, that is

11x + 6 = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

11x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = -
`(6)/(11)` , thus coordinates of x- intercept are

( -
`(6)/(11)`, 0 )

To find the y- intercept, where the line crosses the y- axis, let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y, that is

y = 11(0) + 6 = 0 + 6 = 6, thus coordinates of y- intercept are

(0, 6 )
