Question 445039: Can you help me find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation, and graph the equation?
y = -6x � 8
Also, if you don't mind, please show me how you arrived to your answer, so that I'll have a better understanding of it. Thank you so much!
Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=mx+b
m=slope (-6)
b=y intercept (-8)
Setting y=0 & solving for the x intercept we get:
0=-6x-8
0 = -6x � 8
6x=-8
x=-8/-6
x=1.333 the x intercept.
