Answer :

Step 1

To find x-intercept, make x subject of the relation

3x + 6y = 54

3x = -6y + 54

Divide through by 3

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}\text{ = }\frac{-6y}{3}\text{ + }\frac{54}{3} \\ x\text{ = -2y + 18} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore x intercept from x = my + c

c is the intercept

Therefore, x intercept = 18

To find x-intercept, make x subject of the relation

3x + 6y = 54

6y = -3x + 54

Divide through by 6

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6y}{6}\text{ = }\frac{-3x}{6}\text{ + }\frac{54}{6} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{-x}{2}\text{ + 9} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore y-intercept from y = mx + c

c is the intercept

Therefore, y-intercept = 9
