Question

Which graph has the same intercepts as the equation: 18x + 24y = -72?

Answer 1

To find the x and y intercept of a lines, substitute 0 for y and x and solve for the other variable. The y intercept is the value of y where x=0.

Answer 2

I forgot about that, thank you!

Answer 3

What's the answer you found?

Answer 4

The fourth.
y = -3
x = -4

Answer 5

Sure about that?

Answer 6

18(0) + 24y = -72
0 + 24y = -72

24y/24y = y
-72/24 = -3

18x + 24(0) = -72
18x + 0 = -72

18x/18x = x
-72/18 = -4
??

Answer 7

I ask because that doesn't correspond to the 4th graph...

Answer 8

Remember, the x axis is the horizontal one...

Answer 9

OH its the third one sorry i got the numbered answers and forgot about x and y xD

Answer 10

Yes, that was a trap set for the unwary! :-)
