find the y and the x intercept for the equation 2x-3y=12 (typ the answers as ordered pairs)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-intercept is value of y when x=0 x-intercept is value of x when y=0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ordered pair notation is (x,y).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the y-intercept is (0,0) and the x-intercept is (0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, in that above equation, you should set value of x to zero and solve for y to find y-intercept. Similarly, set value of y to zero to solve for x to find x-intercept.

(0,3) y intercept (6,0) x intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x - 3y = 12 Setting y to zero, you get 2x = 12 => x = 6. So, the x intercept is (6,0). Setting x to zero, you get -3y = 12 => y = -4. So, the y intercept is (0,-4).
