Is D correct?

lovelyanna · Answer

Thank you @CloverRacer

jigglypuff314 · Answer

D would be correct
and know that
x-intercept is when  y=0
y-intercept is when  x=0

lovelyanna · Answer

Alright, thanks :)

cloverracer · Answer

yes because you are combining like terms 3y and 2x add them together and you get 5yx which is 5y + 1x. and 5 + 1 = 6 which leaves the x-intercept as 6 (:
