Question

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by the equation? −6x+3y=18.9

Answer 1

Simplifying 3y + 6 = 18.9 Reorder the terms: 6 + 3y = 18.9 Solving 6 + 3y = 18.9 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6' to each side of the equation. 6 + -6 + 3y = 18.9 + -6 Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0 0 + 3y = 18.9 + -6 3y = 18.9 + -6 Combine like terms: 18.9 + -6 = 12.9 3y = 12.9 Divide each side by '3'. y = 4.3 Simplifying y = 4.3
