Question

The equation of a line is 4x−3y=−244x−3y=−24. What is the x-intercept of the line? Enter your answer below.

Answer 1

The x-intercept is the point where the line intersects the x-axis which means that it is the value of x when y in the equation is set to be equal to zero. In the equation of the line given, setting the y value to zero will result to an x value of -1/2. Therefore, the x-intercept would be -1/2.
