The equation of a straight line is 3x+2y=18
The point where the line crosses the x-axis is (__,__)?


Sagot :

The point where the line crosses the x-axis is (6,9).

Answer:

(6,9)..it crosses the x-axis at point 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=18

First find the x and y intercept

a) To find x intercept, let y=0

which is 3x+2(0)=18

3x+0=18

3x=18..... divide both sides by 3

x=6

b) To find y intercept, let x=0

which is 3(0)+2y=18

0+2y=18

2y=18...... divide both sides by 2

y=9
