Question

Y = -8/9 X - 16
What is the x and y intercept

Answer 1

(8/9)x + y = -16

x-intercept, y = 0

8/9x = -19

8x = -19(9)

8x = -171

x = -171/8

y-intercept, x = 0

y = -16

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: X-Intercept=(0,18), Y-Intercept=(0,-16)

Explanation:

X-Intercept occurs when y=0.

`0=-(8)/(9)x-16\\16=(8)/(9)x\\18=x`

Y-Intercept occurs when x=0

`y=-(8)/(9)(0)-16\\y=0-16\\y=-16`
