2x-y-6=0
find the x and y-intercepts

Question

2x-y-6=0 
find the x and y-intercepts

anonymous · Answer

what do you know?

anonymous · Answer

so far this is what I've done
y+2x-6=0

anonymous · Answer

idk how to start

anonymous · Answer

when you solve for x and y intercepts you substitute the other variable with 0
so if you were to solve for x you would replace y with 0 and if you were to solve for y you would replace x with 0

zzr0ck3r · Answer

when x is 0 we have -y-6 = 0 or y = -6 so the y inttercept at (0,-6)
when y = 0 we have 2x-6 = 0or x = 3 so the x intercept is (3,0)

anonymous · Answer

ok thats cool. lets see.

first what would be the best way the formula should be in graph . ??

zzr0ck3r · Answer

note: y intercept is when x is zero
         and x intercept is when y is 0

anonymous · Answer

yea, ok. thank you everyone. I apreciate it

anonymous · Answer

guys concept first before solving. !!!

anonymous · Answer

a little too late for that... I always work the problem out myself anyways though

anonymous · Answer

look think of what are you trying to get first and then go about learning the mechanical side of it.

anonymous · Answer

good luck.

anonymous · Answer

yea

zzr0ck3r · Answer

I like to se it done, and then I can get the concept.... its fine.

anonymous · Answer

exactly what I'm doing...

anonymous · Answer

so where is the concept ?

zzr0ck3r · Answer

read up. no need to repeat

zzr0ck3r · Answer

note: y intercept is when x is zero
         and x intercept is when y is 0

anonymous · Answer

everybody doesn't learn the same ways so relax

anonymous · Answer

no nothing up ??

zzr0ck3r · Answer

its fine, if peole dont want to learn(not saying you dont) we cant force them to. I understnad what your saying, and if they ask the same sort of question over and over then Im with you. but this is not the case so far here.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

note: y intercept is when x is zero
         and x intercept is when y is 0       
^^^^^^^^^^^ this was all up...

zzr0ck3r · Answer

its ok man

anonymous · Answer

i actually worked the problem out instead of just writing what he said so I can understand how he got his answer

anonymous · Answer

thank you.
i think people will be better off if they truly understand whats happing behind the equation than simply to solve it .

zzr0ck3r · Answer

again she is saying it helped her.

anonymous · Answer

my answer obviously helped the most :D
