Answer:

The slope is 3

Hence the x-coordinate of the x- intercept is 2

Hence the y-coordinate of the y- intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to first write the statement  six less than triple some quantity as an expression:

let the quantity be x

Triple the quantity to have 3x

six less than triple some quantity will be expressed 3x - 6

The required function is f(x) = 3x - 6

This is in standard form of equation of a line y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

Comparing 3x - 6 with mx+c

3x = mx

3 = m

m = 3

The slope is 3

x intercept occurs at when f(x) = 0

Substitute into f(x) = 3x-6

0 = 3x-6

-3x = -6

x = 2

Hence the x-coordinate of the x- intercept is 2

y intercept occurs at when x = 0

Substitute into f(x) = 3x-6

f(x) = 3(0)-6

f(x) = -6

Hence the y-coordinate of the y- intercept is -6
