Question 350949


<h4>x-intercept</h4>

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



{{{2x+2y= -6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x+2(0)= -6}}} Plug in {{{y=0}}}.



{{{2x+0= -6}}} Multiply {{{2}}} and 0 to get 0.



{{{2x= -6}}} Simplify.



{{{x=(-6)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-3}}} Reduce.



So the x-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(-3,0\right)].

<h4>y-intercept</h4>

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



{{{2x+2y= -6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2(0)+2y= -6}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}}.



{{{0+2y= -6}}} Multiply {{{2}}} and 0 to get 0.



{{{2y= -6}}} Simplify.



{{{y=(-6)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=-3}}} Reduce.



So the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,-3\right)].
