What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by the equation?

1 answer:

8 0

To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x.
-6x + 3(0) = 18.9
-6x = 18.9
x = 18.9 / -6
x = -3.15 <-- Your x-intercept is (-3.15,0)

To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
-6(0) + 3y = 18.9
3y = 18.9
y = 18.9/3
y = 6.3 (0,6.3) <-- Your x-intercept is (0,6.3)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-7}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-6)}}}\implies \cfrac{-15}{3+6}\implies \cfrac{-15}{9}\implies -\cfrac{5}{3}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{8}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{5}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}]\implies y-8=-\cfrac{5}{3}(x+6) \\\\\\ y-8=-\cfrac{5}{3}x-10\implies y = -\cfrac{5}{3}x-2$
