Question

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

Answer 1

divide whole equation by 6 your x intercept would be 3 and y would be 6

Answer 2

hmm

Answer 3

huh
sorry i'm dum

Answer 4

for the \(y\) intercept, replace \(x\) by 0 you get
\[y=-2\times 0-6=-6\]

Answer 5

so the \(y\) intercept is where the line crosses the \(y\) axis at \((0,6)\)

Answer 6

for the \(x\) intercept replace \(y\) by 0 and get
\[0=-2x-6\]solve for \(x\) in two steps
\[2x=-6\]
\[x=-3\] so the \(x\) intercept is \((-3,0)\)
