To find x-intercept just need to put 0((zero)) instead of y in the equation.

Thus :


- 6x + 3(0) = 18.9


- 6x + 0 = 18.9


- 6x = 18.9

Divided sides by -6


( - 6)/( - 6)x = (18.9)/( - 6) \\


x = - 3.15

This is the x-intercept.

To find y-intercept just need to put 0((zero)) instead of x in the equation.

Thus :


- 6(0) + 3y = 18.9


0 + 3y = 18.9


3y = 18.9

Divided sides by 3


(3)/(3)y = (18.9)/(3) \\


y = 6.3

This is the y-intercept.
