Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the x-intercept, set y=0 then solve for x.
y=−3x−9. 0=−3x−9. 3x=−9.
x=−3 when y=0.
To solve for the y-intercept, set x=0 then solve for y.
y=−3x−9. y=−3(0)−9. y=−9 when x=0.
Hi there!
Y-intercept:
Set the x value to 0:
y = 3(0) + 9
y = 9 --> (0, 9)
X-intercept:
Set the y value to 0:
0 = 3x + 9
Solve for x:
-9 = 3x
x = -3 --> (-3, 0)
