Question

Find the x-intercept of the graph of the linear equation y = -1/2 x + 3? x-intercept =

Answer 1

In order to find the x intercept of a line we simply set y=0.

In this case

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

we solve the equation

$-3=-\frac{1}{2}x$$(-3)(-2)=x$$x=6$

And so, the x-intercept of the line is the point (6,0).
