Question

]Identify the correct x intercept and y intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = -18.

Answer 1

write it as y=mx +c where c is y intercept

Answer 2

Xint y=0, 2x-3(0)=-18
2x=-18
x= -9
Yint x=0, 2(0)-3y=-18
-3y=18
y= -6

Answer 3

For x - intercept put y = 0 and find x..

For y intercept put x = 0 and find y from the equation given..

Answer 4

a better way :
divide entire equation by -18

Answer 5

\[\huge \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\]

where a is x intercept b is y intercept

Answer 6

x intercept = (9, 0); y intercept = (0, -6)

Answer 7

Intercepts are single values and not ordered pairs..

x-intercept = -9
y-intercept = 6

Answer 8

\(\quad \boxed{ \: \textbf{Quote } \text{(waterineyes)} \\
\qquad \text{Intercepts are single values and not ordered pairs..} \quad } \)

It would be correct to express \(x\)- and \(y\)- intercepts as points, since they do occur at specific points (on the \(x\)- or \(y\)- axes).
