QuestionFind the intercepts of the equation x+3y=3-x + 3y = -3. What are the xx and yy intercepts?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation of the line is x+3y=3-x+3y=-3 . To find the x-intercept, we set y=0y=0 and solve for xx
3. To find the y-intercept, we set x=0x=0 and solve for yy

STEP 2

To find the x-intercept, we set y=0y=0 in the equation and solve for xx.
x+(0)=-x+(0)=-

STEP 3

implify the equation and solve for xx.
x=3-x=-3

STEP 4

Multiply both sides of the equation by 1-1 to isolate xx.
x=3x=3So, the x-intercept is (3,0)(3,0).

STEP 5

To find the y-intercept, we set x=0x=0 in the equation and solve for yy.
(0)+3y=3-(0)+3y=-3

STEP 6

implify the equation and solve for yy.
3y=33y=-3

STEP 7

Divide both sides of the equation by 33 to isolate yy.
y=1y=-1So, the y-intercept is (0,1)(0,-1).
The intercepts of the line x+3y=3-x+3y=-3 are (3,0)(3,0) and (0,1)(0,-1).
