Answer:

<h2>D. 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1}

\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{x-intercept:}\ (x,\ 0).\\\\\text{Susbtitute the coordinates of the points to the formula of a slope}\\\\(-3,\ -4),\ (6,\ 2),\ (x,\ 0):\\\\m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{6-(-3)}=\dfrac{2+4}{6+3}=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{6:3}{9:3}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\m=\dfrac{0-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{-2}{x-6}\\\\\text{Therefore we have the equation:}\\\\\dfrac{-2}{x-6}=\dfrac{2}{3}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2(x-6)=(-2)(3)\\\\2(x-6)=-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x-6=-3\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\x=3

\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture.}

Mark points in the coordinate system.

Lead a line through these points.

Read x-intercept.

A. 4,-4<br> B. 2,-5<br> C.0,6<br> D.-2,5<br> Which would it be?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If we insert the original coordinates into the problem, we will find the answer.

(2+2, 1-5)

so, once solved

(4, -4)

remember, adding to X means moving the point right, subtracting to X means moving left.

Adding to Y means moving the point up, subtracting to Y means moving down.
