consider the line given by the equation: 3x-y=-3

Question

solve for x-value of the x intercept of the line

Answer 1

To determine the x-intercept of a non-horizontal line, set y = 0 and solve for x.

So, 3x - 0 = -3.

x = -1

The x-intercept is the point (-1,0).

Answer 2

To solve for the x intercept, y is always equal to zero. So set y=0 in the equation and solve for x

3x-0 = -3

3x = -3 Divide both sides by 3

x = -1, the x intercept is (-1,0)

Answer 3

For x-intercept, set y=0. Solve for x.

3x - 0 = -3

3x = -3

Divide both sides by 3.

x = -3/3 = -1
