Question

How do I find the x intercept and y intercept of each line if x~y = -3

Answer 1

is it supposed to be x - y = -3 ?

or is it supposed to be x + y = -3 ?

Answer 2

X - y = 3

Answer 3

Oops x-y =. -3

Answer 4

To find the x-intercept, you plug in y = 0 and solve for x


x - y = -3


x - 0 = -3


x = -3


So the x-intercept is -3, which is really the point (-3, 0)


---------------------------------


To find the y-intercept, you plug in x = 0 and solve for y


x - y = -3


0 - y = -3


-y = -3


y = -3/(-1)


y = 3


So the y-intercept is 3, which is really the point (0,3)
