To find the x intercept, subsitute 0 for x and slove for y:

 

3x+9y=9

 

3(0)+9y=9

 

0+9y=9

 

9y=9

 

9y9=99

 

1y=99

 

y=99

 

y=1

 

x intersept: (0, 1)

 

To find the y intercept, subsitute 0 for y and slove for x:

 

3x+9y=9

 

3x+9(0)=9

 

3x+0=9

 

3x=9

 

3x3=93

 

1x=93

 

x=93

 

x=3

 

y intersept: (3,0)

 

You can also find the x and y intersepts by graphing the equation by subsiting numbers for x and getting aswers for y or subsititing numbers for y and getting answers for x and then plot the points and then connect the points.  Click on the following link to see the graph of this equation.
