Question

HELP PLEASE. ALG 1

Choose the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation 3x − 2y = 6.

Answer 1

x intercept = 2
y intercept =-3

Answer 2

How did you get that? @zordoloom

Answer 3

Plug a zero into x if you want to find y. So, 3(0)-2y=-6

Answer 4

And is it x-intercept: (2, 0), y-intercept: (0, −3) or x-intercept: (0, 2), y-intercept: (0, −3)

Answer 5

(2,0) and (0,-3)

Answer 6

@Haleyyy x-intercept itself means y-coordinate=0
so
x-intercept: (2, 0), y-intercept: (0, −3)

Answer 7

I just don't understand how to do this stuff. My teacher taught it to me I just dont understand it and now i'm doing the hw and dont know how to work it out. Last Q: Choose the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation x + 2y = 4.

Answer 8

@Haleyyy then let make it to understand u:)

Answer 9

@zordoloom don't post answers plz:)

Answer 10

Okay step by step: Given: x + 2y = 4.

To find the x intercept, replace the y with a zero: x+2(0)=4. x+0=4.....

Answer 11

@zordoloom she don't know anything about intercept so wait plz:)

Answer 12

okay. I'll let you take over.

Answer 13

@Haleyyy do u know what is actually intercept and a line means??????

Answer 14

yes, i just need to know how to work out the problem thats all.

Answer 15

well then what is x-intercept means???????

Answer 16

you're not making any sense. just take me step by step please like how @ zordoloom was :-)

Answer 17

what do i do when i start with \[\chi +2y =4\]

Answer 18

@Haleyyy line is just a sequence of points which means all points on it will satisfy and x-intercept means at which it cuts x-axis means value of y=0
so to find a point on the line where y=0
it must satisfy equatin
so
putting y=0
we
find x
so here
x+2*(0)=4
x+0=4
x=4
so co-ordinates is(4,0)
now try for y- intercept:)

Answer 19

i figured it out! thx
