Question

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation −2x+12y=18?

Answer 1

x-intercept of the given line is, (-9, 0)

Explanation:

Substitute y = 0 and solve for x:

⇒-2x = 18

Divide both sides by -2 we get;

x = -9

Therefore, the x-intercept of the line is, (-9, 0)

Answer 2

The x intercept is -9

Explanation:

−2x+12y=18

To find the x intercept, let y=0

-2x + 12(0) = 18

-2x = 18

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 18/-2

x = -9

The x intercept is -9
