Answer:

The x-intercept is 5.

Some people prefer you right it as a point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept can be found by setting y=0 and solving for x.

Just like to find the y-intercept you can set x=0 and solve for y.

Let's find the x-intercept.

So we will set y=0 and solve for x:

3x-9y=15

3x-9(0)=15

3x-0 =15

3x =15

Divide both sides by 3:

x =15/3

x =5

So the x-intercept is (5,0).

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities?

Answer:

Explanation:
First try the origin (0,0) to rule out two of the graphs.
3y ≥ x - 9
3(0) ≥ (0) - 9
3 ≥ - 9 yes
3x + y > - 3
3(0) + (0) > - 3
3 > - 3 yes
so the origin should be in the shaded area of the graph, which rules out the top right and bottom left graphs.
Now try a coordinate that is in the shaded area of one of the remaining graphs, but not in the other one. If it works, the graph is the one that has that point in the shaded region, and vice versa.
Try point (4, 2)
3y ≥ x - 9
3(2) ≥ (4) - 9
6 ≥ - 5 yes
3x + y > - 3
3(4) + (2) > - 3
12 + 2 > - 3
14 > - 3 yes
So the graph is the bottom right one since (4, 2) is included in that shaded region.
