Answer: C) −4

Key idea: Finding solutions to a linear equation

Pick any value for one variable; solve for the other. Repeat to get many solutions.

Example: .
- Let → . So (0, 6) is a solution (this is the -intercept).
- Let → . So (2, 3) is a solution.
- Let → . So (4, 0) is a solution (this is the -intercept).
- Let → . Same as above.

Four solutions found in seconds, and infinitely more available.
