Answer A)
We have:
Answer A)
Answer:
X-intercept = -3 and y-intercept = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start off by isolating the y term. To do that, we must add 2y to both sides to get
Now, we must add 12 to both sides and the y term will be all alone on the right side:
Now, to have only y on the right side, we must divide by 2 to get:
In slope-intercept form, b is the y-intercept, and 'b' in this equation is 6. We have our y-intercept.
To find our x-intercept, y must be equal to zero. We can plug in that value for y and solve for x:
We can start off by subtracting 6 from both sides to get:
We can then divide both sides to get when y is equal to 0. Thus, we have our x-intercept.
