Question

How do you find the x and y intercept given `-x=-y-6`?

Answer 1

`x` intercept`=6`
`y` intercept=`-6`

Explanation:

We want the function to be in `y=mx+b` form, so we do this by adding `x` and `y` on both sides to get

`y=x-6`.

To find `x` intercept , we make `y=0`.

`0=x-6`

Add `6` on both sides

We get `x=6`.

To find `y` intercept , make `x=0`,

`y=0-6`

And we get `y=-6`

`x` int = `6`
`y` int = `-6`

Here is the graph, look at where the line intercepts in the `x` and `y` axis.
