Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts and graph the equation plotting the intercepts. -6x - 3y = 27

Answer 1

first put x = 0 in the equation to find y intercept :

-6(0)-3y=27

solve for y, what do you get?

Answer 2

x=9? This is so confusing

Answer 3

what is -6 * 0 ?

Answer 4

0

Answer 5

right now:

-6*0 -3y = 27

-3y =27 right?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

now can u solve for y?

Answer 8

@kartiksriramk please let me explain the asker... You have already given a direct soln that is against Code of Conduct..

Answer 9

Oh sorry man.......I'll remove it.

Answer 10

I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

Answer 11

-3y = 27

divide both sides by -3 and then try to solve

Answer 12

y=-3

Answer 13

no, y = -9

Answer 14

y = - 9 correct

Answer 15

now put y = 0 that is solve for x:
-6x+3(0) =27

Answer 16

is it not supposed to be -6x - 3(0)=27?

Answer 17

oh yes sorry - is there

so solve for x : -6x = 27

Answer 18

-6x - 3(0) = 27-6x=27?

Answer 19

yes..

since -3*0 = 0
hence -6x-3*0=27
-6x=27

Answer 20

ok so do i divided both sides by -6x?

Answer 21

no no divide both sides by -6

Answer 22

this part is confusing, what am i missing?

Answer 23

\[\large{\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{27}{-6}}\]
\[\large{\frac{\cancel{-6}^1x}{\cancel{-6}^1}=\frac{-27}{6}}\]

Answer 24

got my point?

Answer 25

4.5

Answer 26

-4.5 ?

Answer 27

check that there is - sign

Answer 28

would that be x=-4.5?

Answer 29

right ..

Answer 30

now can u graph the following coordinates on the graph :
(-4.5,0)
and (0,-9)

Answer 31

I think so, it would be x(-4.5,0) and y(0,-9) right?

Answer 32

right

Answer 33

ok Thanks so much....now one more question, how do I give you a medal?
