-6x+4y=-18, find the x and y-int

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put y=0 to find the x intercept. And x=0 for the y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So after i plug in 0 for y... -6x+4(0)=-18 What will be the next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6x=-18, get rid of the -6 by dividing both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with two negatives it becomes an positive . -18/-6=3 ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now try to find the y intercept by making x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4(0)=-18 is that how I set the problem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

naw, you would be x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6(0)+4y=-18 4y=-18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you just solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got a negative decimal #

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel like i did it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, you did it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do get a negative decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)
