Question

What is the x-intercept of the line given by the equation 2x + 3y = 12

Answer 1

Hey, just plug in a zero for the y value and solve.

HINT: 2x + 3(0) = 12

Let me know if you need more help or further help solving this problem!

Answer 2

the x-intercept occurs when y = 0, so substitute and solve for x

Answer 3

2x + 3(0) = 12 Plug in 0 for the y value

2x=12 solve for x by dividing each side by two

x=6

The x intercept is (6,0)

Answer 4

@Lissettefrench2 it isn't good practice to spoon feed answers.

Answer 5

Oh sorry, I did not know.

Answer 6

It's okay, now you know. The person doesn't learn much when you just give answers in contrast to leading them through the steps and letting them come to the conclusion.
