Find the x and z intercepts of the graph of 3x - z ≤ 9
A.
(3, -9)
B.
(-3, 9)
C.
(-3, -9)
D.
(-3, 0)
Correct Answer: (3, -9)
Explanation
Starting from 3x − z ≤
9
x = 0, substitute the value of x (i.e. x = 0) into the equation 3x − z ≤ 9
3(0) − z ≤ 9
z ≤ − 9
If z = 0
Then, 3x − 0 ≤
9
3x ≤ 9
x ≤ 3
Intercept of x and z i.e (x,z)
= (3, -9)
Starting from 3x − z ≤
9
x = 0, substitute the value of x (i.e. x = 0) into the equation 3x − z ≤ 9
3(0) − z ≤ 9
z ≤ − 9
If z = 0
Then, 3x − 0 ≤
9
3x ≤ 9
x ≤ 3
Intercept of x and z i.e (x,z)
= (3, -9)
