6. The equation of a line is given by the function y= mx + b. Determine the value of the x-intercept (where y= 0) of the line defined by the equation y = 3x+9. Using the equation for a straight line, what is the formula for the x intercept? 7. What effect will a 1.0°C error (all temperature readings are 1.0°C greater than the actual value) in determining absolute 0 K? Justify your answer.

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
