Question

Y=4x-18 Find ordered pairs of intercepts of each line

Answer 1

The ordered pairs for the intercepts are as follows:

x intercept = 9/2

y intercept = -18

In order to find either of these you must put 0's in for the other variable. So, to find the x intercept, we start by putting 0 in for y.

y = 4x - 18

0 = 4x - 18

-4x = -18

x = 9/2

To find the y intercept, we put a 0 in for x.

y = 4x - 18

y = 4(0) - 18

y = 0 - 18

y = -18
