Answer:

x - intercept: (-22, 0)

y - intercept: (0, 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation

-3x + 11y = 66

Determining the x-intercept

We know that the x-intercept can be computed by setting the value y=0 and solving for x.

substitute y = 0

-3x + 11y = 66

-3x + 11(0) = 66

-3x + 0 = 66

-3x = 66

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = 66/-3

x = -22

Thus, the ordered pair representing the x-intercept : (-22, 0)

Determining the y-intercept

We know that the y-intercept can be computed by setting the value x=0 and solving for y.

substitute x = 0

-3x + 11y = 66

-3(0) + 11y = 66

0 + 11y = 66

11y = 66

Divide both sides by 11

11y/11 = 66/6

y = 11

Thus, the ordered pair representing the y-intercept : (0, 11)

Therefore, we conclude that:

x - intercept: (-22, 0)

y - intercept: (0, 11)

For what value of x would the expression below be undefined? 2x − 15 x + 9

Naddik [55]

Hey there!

I'm assuming your expression is actually $\frac{2x - 15}{x + 9}$ . If it's not, let me know and I'll be happy to help you out further.

If x were equal to –9, your expression would be undefined. If you solve it with this value plugged in for x, you will get the following:

$\frac{2x - 15}{x + 9}$

$\frac{2(-9) - 15}{(-9) + 9}$

$\frac{-18 - 15}{0}$

$\frac{-33}{0}$

$error$

You can't divide anything by zero. This expression would be undefined if x were –9 since it makes the denominator zero. Therefore, x ≠ –9.

Hope this helped you out! :-)
