Question

Find the intercepts of the equation:
y=-3x+6

Answer 1

I am assuming you mean the y and x intercepts. So to find the x-intercept which is a point of the line given, where y=0

Answer 2

what i have drawn above, is a visual diagram to better demonstrate that when a line goes through the x-axis, the y-value=0, and similarly when a line goes through the y-axis, the x value is 0.

Answer 3

So to find the x-intercept, you would substitute y=0, into the equation given, and to find the y-intercept you would substitute x=0 into the equation.

Answer 4

Note: the above diagram is not a representation of the equation given :)

Answer 5

y= 6
x= -2

Answer 6

your y-value is correct.

Answer 7

however, you x-value is incorrect.

Answer 8

your*

Answer 9

y=-3x+6
0=-3x+6
rearrange for x.

Answer 10

Is it:
x=2

Answer 11

Yes, :)

Answer 12

Good job!
