Question

Finding x and y intercepts. Please help me understand this for my test that I have tomorrow.
3y-x=6 or 5x-6y=30

Answer 1

Okay do you know when x and y intercepts occur?

Answer 2

not really

Answer 3

wait nvm i think i do kinda.

Answer 4

but no whole lot tho

Answer 5

An x intercept occur when the line crosses the x axis or y=0. A y intercept occurs when the line crosses the y axis or x=0

Answer 6

Let's take 5x-6y=30
To find x-intercept plug y = 0 in the given equation.
So, 5x-6(0)=30
5x=30
x = 6 is the x-intercept.

Similarly plug x = 0 to find the y-intercept
5(0)-6y=30
-6y=30
y = -5 is the y -intercept...

Hope this will help you

Answer 7

This said we turn back to your original equation and plug in the value of zero in for x and solve for y. Then you do the reverse plug in zero for y and solve for x.
