Find the x- and y-intercept of the line. 2x + 3y = –18 x-intercept is –9; y-intercept is –6. x-intercept is 2; y-intercept is 3. x-intercept is 18; y-intercept is 18. x-intercept is –6; y-intercept is –9.

2x+3y=-18

3y=-2x-18

y=(-2x-18)/3

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0 so

y-intercept=-18/3=-6, technically the point (0.-6)

The x-intercept occurs when y=0 so

(-2x-18)/3=0

-2x-18=0

-2x=18

x=-9  So the x-intercept is the point (-9,0)

So x-intercept is -9 and y-intercept is -6
