Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts: 3x - 2y = 6

Answer 1

to get x-intercept, put y=0 in 3x - 2y = 6
to get y-intercept, put x=0 in 3x - 2y = 6

Answer 2

substitute x for 0
y for 0

Answer 3

@kevin.presley12 do u need further help?

Answer 4

y is only zero when the line touches the x axis. So, when y = 0, where is the x intercept?

Answer 5

3x - 2y = 6
-2y = 6 +3x
y = 3x + 6
--- ---
-2 -2

y = -3/2 x - 3

y = 0 so,

0 = -3/2x -3

Answer 6

Find x intercept:
0 = -3/2 x -3

when y is zero solve for x to get x int

0 = -3/2 x -3
-3 = -3/2x
2 = x

Answer 7

x int is 2 or

X Y
( 2, 0)

Answer 8

To find y intercept you find when x = 0
