Find the X - and y-intercept of the line.

2x + 3y = - 18

Answer: x = - 9, y = - 6

y = mx + b

2x + 3y = - 18

Assuming x = 0

2 (0) + 3y = - 18

y = - 6

Assuming y = 0

2x + 3 (0) = - 18

x = - 9

x-intercept = - 9

y-intercept = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

=> 2x+3y = - 18

Finding x-intercept

Let's assume y = 0

The equation becomes

=> 2x = - 18

Dividing both sides by 2

=> x = - 9

Finding y-intercept:

Let's assume x = 0

The equation becomes

=> 3y = - 18

Dividing both sides by 3

=> y = - 6
