Question

The equation of a line is −6x−2y=−18.

What is the x-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

(3,0)

Explanation:

to find the x-intercept, you have to plug in 0 for y to solve for x. this would be -6x-2(0)=-18. this simplifies to -6x=-18. we can divide by -6 on both sides. this results in x=3. this is the value of the x-coordinate, so the answer is (3,0) since the x-intercept is where the line crosses/touches the x-axis.
