Question

What are the intercepts of `-3x-9y=6`?

Answer 1

`"x-intercept "=-2" and y-intercept "=-2/3`

Explanation:

`"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"`
`"the x and y axes"`

`• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"`

`• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"`

`x=0rArr0-9y=6rArry=-2/3larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"`

`y=0rArr-3x-0=6rArrx=-2larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"`
graph{(y+1/3x+2/3)((x-0)^2+(y+2/3)^2-0.04)((x+2)^2+(y-0)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
