Question

-2x + 3y = 54
What are the x and y intercepts

Answer 1

Answer: The x-intercept is (-27,0)

The y intercept is (0,18)

Explanation:

For the x- intercept, Substitute 0 for y and solve for x

-2x + 3(0) = 54

-2x + 0 = 54

x = 54/-2

x = -27

For the y -intercept, Substitute 0 for x and solve for y

-2(0) + 3y = 54

0 + 3y = 54

y = 54/3

y = 18

Answer 2

x= -27 y=18

Explanation:

plug in zero for x to find y and plug in zero for y to find x
