Question

Which of the following are the x and y intercepts of the equation 2x -2y = 3?
A(2, 0), (0, 2)
B.(1.5, 0), (0, -1.5)
C.(2/3, 0), (0, -2/3)
D.(3, 0), (0, -3)

Answer 1

To find an x-intercept we substitute 0 for y in the equation and solve for x.

Answer 2

So for an x-int, 2x-2y=3 becomes:
2x-2(0)=3
2x=3
x=3/2 = 1.5
So the x intercept is (1.5, 0)

Answer 3

Because the x-int occurs when y=0
