We find the x-intercept by setting y = 0.
2x + 9(0) = 18
2x = 18
x = 9
We find the y-intercept by setting x = 0.
2(0) + 9y = 18
9y = 18
y = 2

Hi,
x-intercepts and y-intercepts of
2x + 9y = 18 x-intercepts when y = 0
2x = 18
x = 9 Pt(9,0) a point on the line
2x + 9y = 18 y-intercepts when x = 0
9y = 18
y = 2 Pt(0,2)a point on the line
