In order to find the y-intercept of this equation, we must turn this equation into a slope-intercept equation. The equation for slope-intercept form is <em>y=mx+b. </em>We can do this by using these steps. Our goal is to get y by itself on one side.
6x - 2y - 9 = 0
Step 1: Add 9 on both sides of the equation.
6x - 2y = 9
Step 2: Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation. Once you subtract, make sure you put the -6x in front of 9 so we are following the rules of variables and exponents.
The easiest way to solve this question would be to subtract the 6 from the 48 which results in 42. Then because the length is twice it’s width we divide the 42 by 3 which gives us 14. Therefore the width is 14 and the length is double of fourteen which is 28
