The x intercept is where your line will cross the x axis. Therefore, the value for y at this point is 0. Substitute 0 for y in this equation and solve for x.
6x + 3(0) = 27
x = 27/6
x = 4 1/2
x intercept = (4 1/2, 0)
Follow the same reasoning for the y intercept.
6(0) + 3y = 27
y = 27/3
y = 9
y intercept = (0,9)
Now plot these two points and draw your line through them.
Oops, I missed the negative symbol on the 6x term. So the x intercept is (-4 1/2, 0). Because we are dividing 27 by -6. Sorry. There is no change to the y intercept.
Thank you very much the solution was very helpful.
Hello Lore, you did an excellent job keep up the good work.
can you solve this one too?8-9(2x+4)<=2x+13
You also missed the negative on the 3y term. They are both negative in the title but not in the written explanation...
Title: -6x-3y = 27
