Question

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation -4x + y = 36. Enter your answer in the box. ( , 0)

Answer 1

x intercept = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is

-4x +y =36

$\Leftrightarrow \frac{-4x}{36} +\frac{y}{36}=1$

$\Leftrightarrow \frac{x}{-9} +\frac{y}{36}=1$

This equation is in the slope intercept form i.e in the form

$\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} =1$

Where x intercept = -9
