Question

In the xy-plane, the graph of y equals 1 half x plus b, where b is a constant, intersects the x-axis at (-6, 0). What is the value of b ?

The correct answer is: 3


    The graph intersects the x-axis at (-6, 0). Then we take x = - 6 and y = 0.
    Explanations:
    Step 1 of 1:
    In the xy - plane, the graph is y equals 1 half x plus b, where b is a constant.
    Since it intersects x - axis at (- 6, 0), then putting x = - 6 and y = 0, we get
    0 equals 1 half cross times left parenthesis negative 6 right parenthesis plus b
    ⇒ 0 = - 3 + b
    ⇒ b = 3
    Final Answer:
    The value of b is 3.
