Answer:
x- intercept = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - 2 and c = 6 , thus
y = - 2x + 6 ← is the equation of the line
To find the x- intercept, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x
- 2x + 6 = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
- 2x = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = 3 ← x- intercept or (3, 0 )
