i got -2 from -2x

Nnesha (nnesha):

well number at front of x variable wouldn't be the x-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, hmmmmm

Nnesha (nnesha):

x-intercept is a point where line cross x-axis when y = 0 so substitute y for 0 to find x-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one sec

Nnesha (nnesha):

take 2 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9?

Nnesha (nnesha):

how ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

show some work :=)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because -2x + 1/2 * 0 = 18 18 divided by 2 would be 9, and since it is -2 divided by 18, it is -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that make sense> it makes since to me
