Answer:
The x-intercept is (18/5, 0).
The y-intercept is (0,-2).
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the <u>x-intercept</u>, sub y for 0.
-5x + 9y = -18
-5x + 9(0) = -18
Simplify and isolate x.
-5x = -18 <= Divide both sides by -5
x = 18/5
Since we substituted y for 0, y=0.
(18/5, 0)
To find the <u>y-intercept</u>, sub x for 0.
-5x + 9y = -18
-5(0) + 9y = -18
Simplify and isolate y.
9y = -18 <= Divide both sides by 9
y = -2
Since we substituted x for 0, x=0.
(0,-2)
