Answer: The y-intercept is -12

The x-intercept is 8

Step-by-step explanation: Factor out 3

Divide all by 3 to simplify.

9x - 6y = 72 is equivalent to

3x - 2y = 24

At this point, you can substitute 0 for x and solve for y

3(0) -2y = 24. -2y/-2 = 24/-2

y = -12

And substitute 0 for y and solve for x.

3x -2(0) = 24. 3x/3 = 24/3

x = 8

OR Change to slope intercept form:

y = mx + b. b is the y intercept.

-2y = -3x + 24. Solve for y.

Divide all by-2

y = 3x/2 - 12.

The y-intercept is -12

To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x.

0 = 3x/2 -12 Add 12 to both sides.

12 = 3x/2. Multiply both sides by 2/3

8 = x

The x-intercept is 8
