55 add 75 to 50 subtract from 180
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3y = - 2x - 12
Divide every term by 3 to get the y-variable by itself.
y = - 2/3x - 4
Since the equation is not in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), your y-intercept is just the number in the b slot. Y-intercept is - 4 or (0, - 4).
Now to find your x-intercept, plug in 0 where the y-variable is and solve for x.
0 = - 2/3x - 4
4 = - 2/3x
Multiply both sides by - 3/2 to isolate the variable.
4(- 3/2) = x
- 12/2 = x
- 6 = x.
Your x-intercept is - 6 or (- 6, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

75
Reduction of 12
3 x 4 = 12
Increase of 10
5 x 2 = 10
75 - 12 = 63
63 + 10 = 73
Change = 2 inches (75 - 73)
