What is the x-intercept of the line with the equation 1/3x+y=-15

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis. This means that the y-coordinate of this point will be 0. So to find the x coordinate, simply plug in 0 for y in your equation and solve for x. 1/3x + 0 = -15 Can you take it from here? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i -1/3 on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it x=-45

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Correct. Great job! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its (-45,0)

OpenStudy (kamibug):
