Question

(PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS I HAVE 7 MINS) explain your awnser what are the x- and the y-interceptions of 3x - 2y = 18

Answer 1

The given equation is

$3x-2y=18$

x intercept

To find the x intercept, we have to plug 0 for y and solve for x.That is

$3x-2(0)=18 \\ 3x=18 \\ x=6$

So x intercept is (6,0) .

y intercept

To find the y intercept , we have to plug 0 for x and solve for y. That is

$3(0)-2y=18 \\ -2y=18 \\ y=-9$

So the y intercept is (0,-9) .
