Question

graph the libne with a Y intercept of -2 and slope of -1/3 what is the X intercept of the line

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/3x -2

x-intercept = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = -1/3

y-intercept = -2

Substitute values into slope intercept form ;

y =mx +b

Where ; m = slope

b =y-intercept

Equation =

$y = -\frac{1}{3} x -2$

Now graph the equation

x-intercept = ?

$y = -\frac{1}{3} x -2$

Arrange in standard form and Let y = 0

$y = -\frac{1}{3} x -2\\\\\frac{1}{3} x +y =-2\\\\\frac{1}{3} x +0=-2\\\\\frac{1}{3} x =-2$

Cross Multiply

$x \times 1 = 3\times -2\\\\x = -6\\\\=(-6,0)$

So , (-6,-2)
