X-intercept = $\frac{9}{2}$ $9/2$ and y-intercept = 9

Explanation:

Since the line representing the given equation passes through x = 0 and y = 0.
When x = 0,
2X0 +y = 9
y = 9
Hence y -intercept = 9
When y = 0
2x + 0 9
2x = 9
$2 \frac{x}{2}$ $2x/2$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ $9/2$
$x$ $x$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ $9/2$
Hence x-intercept = $\frac{9}{2}$ $9/2$
