The correct answer to this equation is X-inter=(-3.15,0) and Y-inter=(0,6.3) and heres why:
To solve this problem we must isolate the y-variable and then graph. Here are the steps to do that
Now add 6x to both sides to get:
Next we divide both sides by the 3 next to the "y" to get:
Then you can simply graph this new equation to find your points. There is also another way to do it without graphing but it will take a lot more explaining and this way is faster.
If you find out that my answer is wrong, please tell me and I promise I will come back and rework my math. Thanks :)

First, let's establish a ratio between these two values. We'll use that as a starting point. I personally find it easiest to work with ratios as fractions, so we'll set that up:
To find the distance <em>per year</em>, we'll need to find the <em>unit rate</em> of this ratio in terms of years. The word <em>unit</em> refers to the number 1 (coming from the Latin root <em>uni-</em> ); a <em>unit rate</em> involves bringing the number we're interested in down to 1 while preserving the ratio. Since we're looking for the distance the fault line moves every one year, we'll have to bring that 175 down to one, which we can do by dividing it by 175. To preserve our ratio, we also have to divide the top by 175:
We have our answer: approximately 0.14 cm or 1.4 mm per year
