Question

3y + 9x - 18 = 0

Answer 1

whats the question?

Answer 2

Find the x & y intecerpts .

Answer 3

& we write the equation in slope intercept form & find the slope .

Answer 4

okay. that makes sense. So let me ask you a question. Do you know what an x intercept is?

Answer 5

Nope 3 ?

Answer 6

okay. X-Intercept means the point at which any line intersects or intercepts the x axis.

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

so point B is the x intercept right ?

Answer 9

so, in the figure that I drew, Point B would be the x-intercept
Similarly, Point A is the Y- intercept.

Answer 10

Yes, very good!

Answer 11

Okay, now what can you tell me about point B?

Answer 12

its a positive

Answer 13

Okay. that is good. But more importantly, can you see that at Point B, the value of y is 0, since onthe x axis, the value of y is always 0

Answer 14

I think I got it now .

Answer 15

I think I got the y-intercept . Is it 6 ?

Answer 16

so, for the line 3y + 9x - 18 = 0, the x intercept is the point at which y is 0.
substituting, we get 3 * 0 + 9x = 18 =>
9x = 18 =>
x = 3.
Therefore the x intercept is the point where x = 3 and y = 0, meaning (x,y) = (3,0)

Answer 17

yep. good!

Answer 18

Pshh , i got it now :)

Answer 19

Thank you !

Answer 20

cool! keep learning!

Answer 21

I got a few of these problems , is it okay if i answer them & you check if they are correct ?

Answer 22

yep

Answer 23

Alright
