Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line?

2x – 3y = 12

A.
x-intercept –6, y-intercept 4

B.
x-intercept –4, y-intercept 6

C.
x-intercept 4, y-intercept –6

D.
x-intercept 6, y-intercept –4

Answer 1

I tried every single one and I cant find it.

Answer 2

hi,
divide the whole equation from 3
2x – 3y = 12
u will get...
(2/3)x - y = 4
y = (2/3)x -4
now this equation is in the form of
y = mx + b
where b is the y intercept...
so.. in our equation
y intercept is " -4"

to find x intercept...
u have to find the value of "x" when "y" is 0...
y = (2/3)x -4
0 = (2/3)x - 4
(2/3)x = 4
2x = 12
x = 6


so.. the x intercept is "6"

hope this will help ya!!!

Answer 3

ohh ok thnx

Answer 4

u r welcome!!

Answer 5

y= 2x-12
-----
3
plug in 0 for x and y = -4 (0,-4)

x= 12+3y
------
2
plug in y=0 to get x=6 (6,0)

Answer 6

How is it 6,0 I thought @***[ISURU]*** said D (6,-4)
