Answer 2

You can set it up as an equation of a line and figure out, there are many methods.

One easy way is, to find the x - intercept set y = 0 and solve for x, and then to find the y - intercept, set x = 0, and solve for y.

Answer 3

y=-6?

Answer 4

Well you set x = 0 right, so you have 0-6y=30, now solve for y.

Answer 5

you say solve for y right?

Answer 6

Yes, but you didn't solve for y

Answer 7

cuz, i dont know :'(

Answer 8

how would you solve for y

Answer 9

y= -5?

Answer 10

Yup!

Answer 11

Now set y = 0 and solve for x
