Question

Find x- and y-intercepts. Write ordered pairs representing the points where the line crosses the axes. y−3x=18

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y - 3x = 18

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

y - 3(0) = 18

y - 0 = 18

y = 18 ⇒ (0,18 ) ← y - intercept

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

0 - 3x = 18

- 3x = 18  ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 6 ⇒ (- 6, 0 ) ← x- intercept
