The x-intercept is when y=0 so substitute y=0 into the given equation and solve for x: 2x+3y=−9 2x+3(0)=−9 2x=−9 x=−4.5 Given equation. Substitute y=0. Simplify. Divide both sides by 2. The x-intercept is then x=−4.5 The y-intercept is when x=0 so substitute x=0 into the given equation and solve for y: 2x+3y=-9 2(0)+3y=-9 3y=-9 y=-3 The y-intercept is then y=−3. Plot the xx-intercept at −4.5 and the y-intercept at −3. Then draw a line passing through the intercepts to graph the line:
