Question

y = -2x – 6 Find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation. Please show all of your work

Answer 1

Find the x intercept by letting y = 0.
Find the y intercept by letting x = 0

Answer 2

y = -2x – 6
2x +y +6 =0
for a equation having general form : ax +by+c =0 , where a, b, c are constants
slope = -a/b
x-int = -c/a
y-int = -c/b

if it is in a form : y = mx + c where m, c are constants
m= slope
c= y- int

of course the easiest way to find x-int is to put y=0 and to find y-int, just put x=0
try to solve it and you'll get the answers

Answer 3

how would you plug in the 0
