Question

What is an ordered pair to the equation -6x+y=-4

Answer 1

n

y

=

−

x

−

4

To find the x-intercept, substitute in

0

for

y

and solve for

x

.

0

4

Solve the equa

−

x

−

4

=

0

.

−

x

−

4

=

0

Add

4

to both sides of the equation.

To find the y-intercept, substitute in

0

for

x

and solve for

y

.

1

by

0

.

y

=

0

−

4

Subtract

4

from

0

.

y

=

−

4

These are the

x

and

y

intercepts of the equation

y

=

−

x

−

4

.

x-intercept:

(

−

4

,

0

)

y-intercept:

(

0

,

−

4

)
