A line with slope $\frac 23$ contains the point $P(-18, -12)$. What is the $x$-intercept of the line?

The equation  of the  line  is

 

y  = (2/3) ( x - - 18) - 12       simplify

 

y =  (2/3) ( x + 18)  - 12

 

y =  (2/3)x  + 12  - 12

 

y = (2/3)x 

 

To find the x intercept, let   y  = 0

 

0  = (2/3)x       multiply  both sides  by (3/2)

 

0  =  x       =   the x intercept
