What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation - 2x+1/2y=18? Enter your answer in the box. (_,0)

x-intercept is - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, all we have to do is to plug in zero for the y variable in the equation given and then solve for x.

Y=0

-2x+1/2 y = 18

-2x + 1/2 (0) = 18

-2x + 0 = 18

-2x = 18

We will divide both-side of the equation by - 2 to get the value of x

-2x/-2 = 18/-2

(On the left-hand side of the equation, - 2 at the numerator will cancel-out - 2 at the denominator, leaving us with just x, while on the right-hand side of the equation 18 will be divided by - 2)

x = 18 / - 2

x = -9

Therefore the x-intercept is - 9

-2x+1/2y=18

x-intercept is when y = 0

so

-2x = 18

x = - 9

Answer

x-intercept : (-9, 0)
