Question

find x and y intercepts y=-2/3x + 1/3

how do i do this?

Answer 1

X-intercept: when y=0
Y-intercept: when x=0

Answer 2

i got 1/18 for x but i think that wrong!?

Answer 3

Put 0 where y is and solve for x.

0=-2/3x+1/3
-1/3=-2/3x
1/2=x

Answer 4

you didvide both by -2/3?

Answer 5

Yep

Answer 6

till dont get it when i divide-1/3 by the -2/3 i still get 1/18???

Answer 7

When dividing by a fraction, you flip the fraction and instead multiply.

-1/3*-3/2

Answer 8

oh ok thanks so much :)

Answer 9

So x intercept is (1/2,0)

what did you get for y intercept?

Answer 10
