Answer:

(3,0)

Explanation:

The graph is a line so it will have an equation with this form:

y = mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let's calculate m:

● m = (-32-(-64))/(-9-(-21)) = 8/3

Now replace m with its value and x,y with coordinates of a point.

● -32 = (8/3)*(-9) +b

● -32 = -24 +b

● -32+24 = b

● -8 =b

Solve y = 0

●(8/3)*x+b = 0

● (8/3) *x = 8

● x = 3

The coordinates of the x-intercept are (3,0)
