Answer:

Slope=− 1.083/1.083 =−0.542

x−intercept= 144/13 =11.07692

y−intercept= 144/24 =6.

Explanation:

Intercepts of a Line

The x-intercept of a given line is the point where the line crosses the x-axis and the y-intercept of a given line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

We are given the following line:

-12x + 18y = 108

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

-12x + 18*0 = 108

-12x = 108

x = 108 / (-12) = -9

The x-intercept is the point (-9,0)

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

-12*0 + 18y = 108

18y = 108

y = 108 / 18 = 6

The y-intercept is the point (0,6)
