Question

ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in finding the x-intercept.

Answer 1

The x-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x-intercept, we put y = 0 and to find the y-intercept we put x = 0

In the given method, x is put equal to zero instead of y as x-intercept had to be found.

Given equation is:

$-2x+3y=12$

$-2x + 3(0) = 12\\-2x +0 = 12\\-2x = 12$

Dividing both sides by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2}\\x = -6$

The x-intercept is -6
