Question

What is the x-intercept of the slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 0, 6

Answer 1

X-incterpret=3 is the answer you’re look for

Answer 2

x- intercept = 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2 and c = 6 , thus

y = - 2x + 6 ← is the equation of the line

To find the x- intercept, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

- 2x + 6 = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 3 ← x- intercept or (3, 0 )
