Question

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by the equation?

−6x+3y=18.9


Enter the answer in decimal form.

x-intercept =

y-intercept =

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

−6x+3y=18.9

To find the x intercept, set y=0 and solve for x

−6x+3*0=18.9

−6x=18.9

Divide each side by -6

-6x/-6 = 18.9/-6

x =-3.15

The x intercept is -3.15

To find the x intercept, set x=0 and solve for y

−6*0+3y=18.9

3y=18.9

Divide each side by 3

3y/3= 18.9/3

y =6.3

The y intercept is 6.3
