Find x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the graph of the equation.
Round to three decimal places, if necessary.
:
-18x + 24y = 1
Put the equation into the slope/intercept form
Add 18x to both sides
24y = 18x + 1
Divide eq by 24
y = 18%2F24x + 1%2F24
y = .75x + .0417
:
Y intercept occurs when x = 0
y = .75(0) + .0417
y = .042, is the y intercept rounded to 3 decimal places
:
x intercept occurs when y = 0
.75x + .0417 = 0
.75x = -.0417
x = %28-.0417%29%2F.75
x = -0555 ~ -.056 is the x intercept rounded
