Math Question. I need to know the steps for this problem

Question

3x + 6y = -24

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept?

Answer 1

So, as in the previous problem, let each term equal zero individually to solve for the other variable.

3x + 6y = -24

Solve for x: 3 x = -24 Solve for y: 6 y = -24

Divide both sides of the equation by 3. Divide both sides by 6.

x = -8 y = -4

Be positive about this. Model other problems after these 2 examples. You can do it!

Answer 2

let y =0 and solve for x, that gives the x-intercept

3x=-24

x =-24/3 = -8

let x=0 and solve for y, that gives the y intercept

6y =-24

y =-4

-8 is the x intercept

-4 is the y intercept
