Question

The x-intercept of the line whose equation is 2x - 3y = 6 is

3
6
-2

Answer 1

I think that it is -2

Answer 2

Plug in y = 0 and solve for x

2x - 3y = 6

2x - 3*0 = 6

2x - 0 = 6

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = 3

So the x-intercept is 3, which is the point (3,0)

Note: what you found (which is -2) is actually the y-intercept.

Answer 3

Oh so i plugged in the wrong variable

Answer 4

I have one more but i want to try and solve and you can tell me if i am correct

Answer 5

The y-intercept of the line whose equation is 2x + 5y = 8 is

8
4
8/5

Answer 6

ok go for it

Answer 7
