Question

What are the intercepts of `9y+2x=3`?

Answer 1

`color(red)("x-intercept " = a = 3/2, " y-intercept " = b = 1/3`

Explanation:

`9y + 2x = 3`

`(2/3) x + (9/3) y = 1`

`x/(3/2) + y / (1/3) = 1`

It's in the standard intercept form of `x / a + y / b = 1`

`:. color(red)("x-intercept " = a = 3/2, " y-intercept " = b = 1/3`
