Q:

A point with an ordinate of 0 belongs to the graph of the equation 12x–15y=132. Find the abscissa of that point.

Accepted Solution

A:
we know that
the ordinate is the y coordinate and the abscissa is the x coordinate

we have that
12x–15y=132
for y=0
x=?
12x-15*0=132------> 12x=132--------> x=11

the point is (11,0)

the answer is
x=11
