Answer:
x-intercept is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 2 points on this line.
Therefore you should be able to find the linear equation for this line
Notice you can find slope as : m = (-4 - 2) / (-3 - 6) = -6 / -9 = 2/3
use the point (6, 2) in the slope-intercept equation y = mx + b ...
I am sure you learned this equation.
we have m = 2/3
so y = (2/3)*x + b so far.
let us find the b constant
2 = (2/3)*6 + b
2 = 2*2 + b
2 = 4 + b
b = 2 - 4 = - 2
so our equation is y = (2/3) x - 2
the x-intercept is found when y= 0
so 0 = (2/3) x - 2
2 = (2/3) x
x = 3
x-intercept is 3 ..... Thank the Great MysticChaCha
