Question

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by the equation? -6+3y=18.9

Answer 1

Given equation : -6x+3y=18.9.

We need to find x and y-intercepts.

In order to find the x-intercept, we need to plug y=0 and solve the equation for x.

Plugging x=0 in given equation, we get

-6(0)+3y=18.9

0 +3y = 18.9

3y = 18.9

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

y = 6.3

In order to find the y-intercept, we need to plug x=0 and solve the equation for y.

Plugging y=0 in given equation, we get

-6x+3(0)=18.9

-6x = 18.9

Dividing both sides by -6, we get

x = -3.15.

Therefore, x-intercept is -3.15 and y-intercept is 6.3.

We could write them as coordinates

x-intercept (-3.15, 0)

y-intercept (0, 6.3).
