Question

A line is defined by the equation y=2/3x-6. The line passes through a point whose y-coordinate is 0. What is the x-coordinate of this point?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-coordinate, plug the y-coordinate into the equation and solve from there.

(0 = 2/3x - 6)  (6 = 2/3x)  (18 = 2x)  9 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is 9 when y=0

x-coordinate is 9

Passing point (9,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of line $y=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

The line passes through a point whose y-coordinate is 0.

We need to find x-coordinate of passing point whose y-coordinate is 0.

Put y=0 into the equation of line and solve for x

$0=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

$6=\frac{2}{3}x$

$x=3\times 3 = 9$

Passing point (9,6)

Hence, The value of x is 9 when y=0
