Question

Which of the following choices is the x intercept of the equation 2y-x=-6

Answer 1

`x = 6`

Explanation:

Given

`2y-x=-6`

Required

Determine the x intercept

To get the value of x intercept; we simply substitute 0 for y;

i.e. y = 0

`2y-x=-6` becomes

`2(0)-x=-6`

`0-x=-6`

`-x=-6`

Multiply both sides by -1

`-1 * -x=-6 * -1`

`x=-6 * -1`

`x = 6`

Hence, the x intercept is 6
