Question

Find the x-intercept for x+8y=-9

Answer 1

x = - 9

Explanation:

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

x + 8(0) = - 9, that is

x = - 9 ← x- intercept or in coordinate form (0, - 9 )

Answer 2

-9

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, we have to substitute 0 as y.

x + 8(0) = -9

x = -9

There ya go!
