Question

Find x- and y-intercepts. Write ordered pairs representing the points where the line crosses the axes. x+y=6

Answer 1

x-intercept = 6 → (6, 0)

y-intercept = 6 → (0, 6)

Explanation:

x + y = 6

x-intercept is for y = 0. Substitute:

x + 0 = 6

x = 6

y-intercept is for x = 0. Substitute:

0 + y = 6

y = 6
