OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Step 1 : Observe the given straight line and note down the values of the coefficients and constants.

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Step 2 : To find x-intercept: Put y=0 in the given equation and then solve for x using inverse-operation. The x-intercept is ( x value , 0 ). To find y-intercept:

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

1. Let x = 0, and solve for y. That is the y-intercept. 2. Let y = 0, and solve for x. That is the x-intercept.

OpenStudy (pphalke):

how would I do that to this one? it seems tough

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

x-axis intercept is a point on the graph where y=0.

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Divide both sides by 21.

3y-6=21(0)???
