Question

How do you find intercepts of 8x=12y-18

Answer 1

X-intercept: Let y = 0, and solve for x
Y-intercept: Let x = 0, and solve for y

Now, get to work!

Answer 2

I wouldn't need to move anythig around?

Answer 3

NO

Answer 4

Follow what I showed you above.

Answer 5

Ah. Okay. Thanks.

Answer 6

For the x-intercept, let y = 0, so you get

8x = 12(0) - 18
8x = -18
x = -18/8 or -9/4

Thats the x-intercept. See how easy that was.

Answer 7

Yeah.

Answer 8

For the y-intercept, let x = 0

So, 8(0) = 12 y - 18
0 = 12y - 18
12y = 18
y = 1.5 or 3/2

The y-intercept is 3/2 or 1 1/2.

So simple.

Answer 9

By the way, now that you have the x-intercept and y-intercepot, you can draw the line by plotting these 2 points and connect the straight line.

Answer 10

Now, one more thing.

Answer 11

I got that part haha. Thanks. :3

Answer 12

For the y-intercept, we let x = 0. Why?

Because the y-intercept is the point on the y-axis. And any point on the y-axis, x must be 0.

Same idea for the x-intercept; every point on the x-axis, y must be zero.

Mathematics makes sense!

Answer 13

Good luck!
