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.
