Question

the equation of a line is given below. 6x - 3y = -18. find the x - intercept and the y - intercept. then use them to graph the line. x - intercept: y - intercept:

Explanation:

Step1: Find x - intercept

Set $y = 0$ in $6x-3y=-18$.
$6x-3\times0=-18$
$6x=-18$
$x=\frac{-18}{6}=- 3$

Step2: Find y - intercept

Set $x = 0$ in $6x - 3y=-18$.
$6\times0-3y=-18$
$-3y=-18$
$y=\frac{-18}{-3}=6$

Answer:

x - intercept: $-3$
y - intercept: $6$
