Question

2x+y=-6what are the x and y intercepts​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y intercept

To find the y intercept, make x = 0

2(0) + y = - 6    zero times anything is 0

0 + y = -6        

The y intercept  is (0,-6)

x intercept

The x intercept happens when y = 0

2x + 0 = -6        zero added to anything = whatever you started with.

2x = - 6             Divide by 2

2x/2 = -6/2       Do the division

x = - 3

The x intercept = (-3,0)
