Question

x = 2y - 3 I need to find x intercept and y intercept. I have (-3,0)(0,3/2) Is this correct?

Answer 1

on my homework sheet the equation is: x = 2y - 3

Answer 2

I thought to figure the x intercept you change the y to a 0 and then to find the y intercept you change the x to a 0. Is that wrong?

I didn't know I needed thee slope intercept formula. And no I don't believe I know the slope intercept formula.. I would have to look it up

Answer 3

Yes, please look up and memorize it if it's possible to you!

Answer 4

do you mean that (-3,0)(0,3/2) is not correct then?

Answer 5

ok the slope intercept formula is: y = mx + b

Answer 6

how do I apply the equation on my homework sheet to that?? x = 2y - 3

Answer 7

Yep, now arrange your equation into this order:
y = mx + b

Answer 8

-2y = 3 - x is that how it should be set up?

Answer 9

I mean y = x/2 + 3/2

Answer 10

Oops, I understand what you means now, there's no need to change into point slope form to find x intercept and y intercept !

Answer 11

I don't understand... I will have to think abuot this

Answer 12

whew!!! so we were headed down different paths????

Answer 13

Your explanation about finding x, y intercept is absolutely right!

Answer 14

Thank you !! I truly appreciate your help!!

Answer 15

more than one way to solve a problem!!!!

Answer 16

You can see clearly in the Slope Intercept form that y intercept = 3/2 ( 0, 3/2)

Answer 17

y = mx + b
b is y intercept 3/2

Answer 18

yes - I believe I understand what you are saying

Answer 19

Your result is correct at the first place :)

Answer 20

I do appreciate your help

Answer 21

Still the Slope Intercept form is extremely essential for algebra learning, so memorize and know how to apply it!

Answer 22

will do!!

Answer 23

You probably will learn it in 2 weeks at most!
