You multiply then solve for y
<span>(–9.7 • 24) • (–0.25) = –9.7 • (24 • y)
</span>-232.8*(-0.25)=-232.8y
58.2=-232.8y
58.2/-232.8=-232.8y/-232.8
y= -0.25
Intersect with x axis indicates that x value would be Zero
Thus when x = 0
y would be
y = -18
Therefor intersection would be at (0,-18)
You know you are finished dividing when you can no longer simply & when you plug it back in to check the answer
