Question

Okay, I'll try again. It was x-y=-3. (7th grade math)

Answer 1

solve for x or y ???
question ??

Answer 2

The directions are " Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of each line " so i m confused on how to solve for x or y.

Answer 3

Lets solve for X first @ihatespiders

Answer 4

First, add y to both sides

Answer 5

x - y + y = -3 + y

Answer 6

Can you solve that ^ @ihatespiders

Answer 7

i got x=-2

Answer 8

Wrong, first solve that ^^

Answer 9

x - y + y = leaves only x because -y + y cancels out the y's

Answer 10

-3 + y = y - 3

Answer 11

So for the X-intercept, X = Y - 3

Answer 12

Do you get it so far @ihatespiders

Answer 13

Hi - she got frustrated and walked away. Thanks for your help thought!

Answer 14

x-intercept when y = 0
so for intercept you have to replace y by 0 and then solve

Answer 15

y-intercept when x=0
so to find y -intercept replace x by 0 and then solve
can you do it now ??

Answer 16

for x-intercept now solve for x
