@aaronq

Answer 2

Do you know how to solve the equation for y?

Answer 3

not rally

Answer 4

-9 is the answer

Answer 5

No forget that. That is for the y-intercept.
To find the x-intercept, you already have a hint in your answer.

Answer 6

The answer shows that the point has to be (---, 0).
The x-intercept has a y-coordinate of zero.

Answer 7

That means you take the equation and let y be zero, and solve for x.
The value of x is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept.

Answer 8

plug in 0 for y and you get -2x=18 then you divide by -2 to get x by itself.

Answer 9

so the answer is -9? @mathstudent55
