What are the intercepts of #x+9y=-2#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts and the Cover-Up Method 1 Answer Adam W. · Aviv S. Mar 13, 2018 Rearrange the formula in the form of x + a = y Explanation: This makes #x +2 = -9y# Then make #x# into #0#, this gives the #y#-intercept. #y = -2/9# Then make #y# into #0# for the #x#-intercept #x=-2# Answer link Related questions How do you use the cover-up method to solve for the x and y intercept?
