x-intercept


To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 and solve for x


-3x+%2B+6y+=+9 Start with the given equation.


-3x+%2B+6%280%29+=+9 Plug in y=0.


-3x+%2B+0+=+9 Multiply 6 and 0 to get 0.


-3x+=+9 Simplify.


x=%289%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=-3 Reduce.


So the x-intercept is .

Find the x-intercept of the line that has an equation of –3x + 6y = 9.
:
The x intercept occurs when y=0, therefore:
-3x + 6(0) = 9
-3x = 9
divide both sides by -3
x = 9%2F%28-3%29
x = -3
