Question

can someone pls explain how you find the x intercept and how to solve a slope intercept form question????

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Let me give you an example to help;

`y = 2x + 3`

This equation is in slope - intercept form, which can be demonstrated through the following notation -

`y = mx + b - Where, m = slope, and, b = y - intercept`

Now to solve for the x - intercept, we will have to propose y as 0;

`0 = 2x + 3,\\2x = - 3,\\x = - 3 / 2 = - 1 and 1 / 2`

Thus the x - intercept = - 1 and 1 / 2;

* Note that you can't solve a slope intercept form equation, unless it is a system of equations, and if that is the case just let me know and I can help you out with that *
