Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation. -x - 3y = 9.

Answer 1

For x intercept put y = 0

And for y intercept put x = 0..

Answer 2

Get x-intercept by putting y=0 in that equation
Get y-intercept by putting x=0 in that equation
can u do that ?

Answer 3

Ok, I then have to graph the equation, so will it be at 0 for both y and x?

Answer 4

no,and no need to graph....For x-intercept,u put y=0 like this:
-x-3(0)=9
x=-9 is the x-intercept
can u do the same for y-intercept??

Answer 5

Firstly find x and y intercepts..

Answer 6

Ok, I do have to submit a graph in the dropbox as part of my quiz.

Answer 7

I'm so confused.

Answer 8

Firstly find the y intercept..

x intercept has been found by hartnn..

Answer 9

After that you have to plot the points on graph..

Answer 10

Ok well I guess I will figure it out eventually, thanks.

Answer 11

Is it -0 - 3y =9?

Answer 12

Anyone there?

Answer 13

what will -0 - 3y =9 give you the value of y? that will be y-intercept..

Answer 14

y=0?

Answer 15

I'm sorry if I seen stupid but this is all very new to me.

Answer 16

do u know how to solve linear equations?

Answer 17

no

Answer 18

I don't know how to do any of this.

Answer 19

hmm...then u need to learn that before solving this question.
try this link. see if it helps.

if not, let us know. we'll try and help u out.

Answer 20

-0 - 3y =9
- 3y =9
\[\frac {-3y}{-3}=\frac{9}{-3}\]
y=-3
does this make sense??

Answer 21

Yes

Answer 22

so now u have x-intercept (-9,0)
y- intercept (0,-3)
ok ...?
now can u plot such points in the graph??

Answer 23

Yes I can.....Thanks for all of you alls help and I apologize for giving you a headache

Answer 24

no problem,but could you graph that equation?

Answer 25

Yes that much I can do lol
