The line 2x + 3y = - 6 intersects the x axis at (a, 0) and the y axis at (0, b) what is a + b?

2x + 3y = - 6 (Subtract 2x from both sides)

3y = - 2x - 6 (Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x) which will give you y = - 2/3x - 2 and this graphed would cross the x-axis at (-3,0) and the y-axis at (0, - 2). So a + b = - 5
