Algebra 1 Problem #3?

Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the following equation.

-6x + 3y = -9

Answer 1

THE X AND Y INTERCEPTS!

the x intercept occurs when y = 0 and the y intercept occurs when x = 0 ,ofcourse when the graph line touches the x axis the value for y axis is 0 and similarly when the graph line touches the y axis the value for x = 0 . therefore for x intercept :

-6x+3(0)=-9
-6x=-9
x=-9/-6
x=9/6 or if u further simplify x=3/2 (reduced form )

now for y intercept:
-6(0)+3y=-9
3y=-9
y=-9/3
y=-3

so x intercept is (2/3) and y intercept is (-3)

Answer 2

The x-intercept is defined to be where y = 0, and the y-intercept is defined to be where x = 0. To find each intercept, you just set x or y to the appropriate value and solve for the other variable.

X-intercept: let y = 0. Then

-6x + 3y = -9 becomes
-6x + 3(0) = -9, so
-6x = -9, and
x = 9/6 = 3/2

Y-intercept: let x = 0. Then
-6x + 3y = -9 becomes
-6(0) + 3y = -9
3y = -9
y = -3

So the x intercept is 3/2 and the y-intercept is -3

Answer 3

plug in zeros (plug in a zero for X to find the Y intercept and vice versa)

X - intercept:
-6X + 3(0) = -9, Therefore, -6X = -9 so, X = 9/6 = 3/2 so the X-intercept is (3/2, 0)

Y-intercept:
-6(0) + 3Y = -9
3Y = -9
and therfore, Y = -3 and the X intercept is (0, -3)

Answer 4

x = 3/2 y = -3

Answer 5

x = 3/2 y = -3

Answer 6

3y= -9 +6x
then
y= -3 +2X

y intercept = -3
dunno how to find x sorry :(

Answer 7

to find intercepts you plug in zero.
y intercept= -3
x intercept= 3/2

Answer 8

to solve - set equal to x then set equal to y
y-intercept = -3
x-intercept = 3/2

Answer 9

I think you set one of the variables to zero, solve it, and then do it for the other.

Answer 10

stop putting your homework online! just do it yourself, it explains how to in your textbook!


btw, there's also answers in the back of most textbooks
