Find the x and y intercepts for the following. Give answers as ordered pairs. y=2/3x - 9

Question

y= 2/3x - 9

Find the x and y intercepts. Give answer as ordered pairs.

Answer 1

For x-intercept, set y=0.

2x/3-9=0

2x=27

x = 27/2

(27/2, 0)

For y-intercept, set x=0

y = 0 -9

(0, -9)

In y=mx+b form, b is the y-intercept.
