X=(-4,0)
y=(0,9)
hope this helps

The y intercept would be 10 because to get y alone you would have to divide by 2 adn the x intercept is -4

Name : Teacher: Word Problems Score: Date : Tom has 24 blue balloons. He wants to give his six friends the same number of blue b

Each friend of Tommy will receive 4 blue balloons from tommy as Tommy wants to distribute his balloons equally among all of them.

As per the question statement, Tom has 24 blue balloons and he wants to distribute his balloons equally among all 6 of his friends.

To solve this question, let us assume that each friend of Tommy received "x" balloons on equal distribution.

We will now form a Linear Equation of single variable with "x", based on the condition mentioned in the question statement, and solving for "x", we will obtain our desired answer, i.e.,

$(x+x+x+x+x+x)=24\\or, (6*x)=24\\or, x=\frac{24}{6}\\ or, x=4$

Thus, Each friend of Tommy will receive 4 blue balloons.

Linear Equation: In Mathematics, a linear equation is an algebraic equation which when graphed, always results in a straight Line and hence comes the name "Linear". Here, each term has an exponent of 1 and is often denoted as (y = mx + c) where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. Occasionally, it is also called as a "linear equation of two variables," where y and x are the variables.
