9/4x-1/2y =-3 x and y intercept form

9/4x - 1/2y = -3

Solve for y.

-1/2y = -3 - 9/4x
y = 6 + 4.5x

y intercept = 6

Solve for x.

9/4x = -3 + 1/2y
x = -1 1/3 + 0.2y

x intercept = -1 1/3

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
