Question

Graph the libne with a Y intercept of -2 and slope of -1/3 what is the X intercept of the line

Answer 1

y = -1/3x -2

x-intercept = -6

Explanation:

Slope = -1/3

y-intercept = -2

Substitute values into slope intercept form ;

y =mx +b

Where ; m = slope

b =y-intercept

Equation =

`y = -(1)/(3) x -2`

Now graph the equation

x-intercept = ?

`y = -(1)/(3) x -2`

Arrange in standard form and Let y = 0

`y = -(1)/(3) x -2\\\\(1)/(3) x +y =-2\\\\(1)/(3) x +0=-2\\\\(1)/(3) x =-2`

Cross Multiply

`x * 1 = 3* -2\\\\x = -6\\\\=(-6,0)`

So , (-6,-2)
