Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of x - 6y = 16. State your answers as

Answer 1

The x-int is (16,0)

you plug in 0 for y and solve

x-6(0)=16

x=16

the y-int is (0, -8/3)

you plug in 0 for x and solve

0-6y=16

y= -16/6

simplify by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2

y= -8/3
