Question

For the function 3x – 2y = 12, what is the x-intercept?

-4

4

6

-6

Answer 1

lets put this into slope intercept form.
y=mx+b
\[3x – 2y = 12~~~~->~~~~-2y=-3x+12~~~~->~~~~y=(-2/3)x-6\]what is the y intercept?

Answer 2

actually it is positive 2/3

Answer 3

Y = mx + b

3x -2y = 12
-3x -3x

-2y = -3x + 12
/-2 /-2 /-2

y = 3/2x - 6

Answer 4

@SolomonZelman It's 3/2x

Answer 5

You have to make y=0 and solve for x to find the x intercept.

Answer 6

3x-2(0)=12
x=4

Answer 7

Not and not negative, 2 negative's cancel out.

Answer 8

I already corrected my self, see above?

Answer 9

3x-2(0)=12
x=4
so it is going to be 4.

Answer 10

The x intercept is 4, set y =0 and solve for x. Simple.

Answer 11

To find any intercept, multiply the other axis by 0 to cancel out.

3x - 2(0) = 12

3x = 12
/3 /3

x = 4

@SolomonZelman You put 2/3 xD

Answer 12

No, I though the question said y-intercept at first, but then showed the work for x-intercept.

Answer 13

Oh :)

Answer 14

I see the asker got her help;
good luck with the rest, @TTP!
