Question

Given: 2x + 3y = 6. What is the y-intercept?

Answer 1

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is at \(x = 0\). So, substitute 0 for \(x\) in the equation and solve for the value of \(y\). The full y-intercept will be at \((0,y)\) when you've found the value of \(y\).

To find the x-intercept of a line, substitute 0 for \(y\) and solve for the value of \(x\). The x-intercept will be at \((x,0)\) when you've found the value of \(x\).

Answer 2

basically, to find the intercept, substitute 0 for the other letter and solve.
