Question

Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 3x − 2y = 18 and select the appropriate option below

Answer 1

$3x-2y=18\\\\x-intercept\ (y=0)\\3x-2\cdot0=18\\3x=18\ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\boxed{x=6}\to(6;\ 0)\\\\y-intercept\ (x=0)\\3\cdot0-2y=18\\-2y=18\ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\boxed{y=-9}\to(0;-9)$
