Question

hat are the intercepts of the line 6x-9y=18 ?

A.
x-intercept: –3; y-intercept: 2

B.
x-intercept: 3; y-intercept: –2

C.
x-intercept: –2; y-intercept: 3

D.
x-intercept: 2: y-intercept: –3

Answer 1

what is y when x is 0?

what is x when y is 0?

Answer 2

im not shre D:

Answer 3

let x = 0......

\(0-9y=18\rightarrow -9y=18\)

what is y?

Answer 4

2?

Answer 5

-9y=18

means

-9 times SOMENUMBER = 18

what is that "SOMENUMBER" ?

Answer 6

3?

Answer 7

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 8

-9*3 = -27 not 18 like we want

Answer 9

would it have to be -3 then?

Answer 10

fill in the blank

9 * _____ = 18

Answer 11

Its 2

Answer 12

so what would go in the blank for this one

-9 * ________ = 18

Answer 13

2 ?

Answer 14

but negative times positive = negative

Answer 15

we want a positive result

Answer 16

how do we get one tho :o?

Answer 17

do you remember that negative times negative = positive ?

Answer 18

ohh so its -9 * -2

Answer 19

correct

Answer 20

so solving -9y = 18 gives you y = -2

Answer 21

that's the y-intercept (because you plug in x = 0 and solve for y to get y = -2)

Answer 22

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

Answer 23

wouldnt it be 3???

Answer 24

correct
