Question

A line is defined by the equation y = two-thirds x minus 6. The line passes through a point whose y-coordinate is 0. What is the x-coordinate of this point? A coordinate plane.

Answer 1

x=9

hope this helps :>

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

Put the given information into the equation and solve for x.

y = (2/3)x -6

0 = (2/3)x -6 . . . . . substitute for y

0 = x - 9 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2

9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . .add 9

The x-coordinate of the x-intercept point is 9.
