Question

find the x - intercept of the line 18x - 5y = 12. write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.

Explanation:

Step1: Set y = 0 for x - intercept

Set \(y = 0\) in the equation \(18x-5y = 12\), we get \(18x-5\times0=12\).

Step2: Solve for x

\(18x=12\), then \(x=\frac{12}{18}=\frac{2}{3}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{3}\)
