What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line?
2x – 3y = –12

what do you believe they are?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
or you just want someone to do your homeowrk for you?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i believe in the latter
OpenStudy (amistre64):
what ARE intercepts?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah tell us

that would be nice but its not for me this is algerbra im in geometry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i fergot
OpenStudy (amistre64):
its not for you?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the intercepts are when the graph crosses the y or the x axis; the axis intercepts the pass

the only time one axis can intercept the pass is when the other one is gone.....
OpenStudy (amistre64):
so when x=0; what is the y intercept?
when y=0 what is the x intercept?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
2(0) – 3y = –12
y = ?
----------------
2x – 3(0) = –12
x = ?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
-3y= -12; y=??
2x= -12 ; x=??
OpenStudy (amistre64):
how do we solve these?

idont know anymore
OpenStudy (amistre64):
when did you know?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
how do you forget multiplication as basic as this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bcoz uv bin finding ppl to do it fr u i guess
OpenStudy (amistre64):
your in geometry and cant multiply? i find that hard to believe :)

math doesn abandon numbers till you get into set theory lol
