Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept for the graph of the equation. 3x-y=-6

Question

ganeshie8 · Answer

for x-intercept, plugin y = 0 in the equation and solve x

anonymous · Answer

That's not what I would do. I would first rewrite the equation in slope intercept form, which is y=mx+b. There are multiple ways to do this. I would suggest adding y to the other side, and adding 6 to the other side, then your equation becomes y=3x+6

b is the y intercept, so y intercept is 6.
Plug 0 in for x, solve the equation, and that will give you the x intercept. 

I hope this helps(:

I am so sorry, for the last step, I meant to say plug 0 in for y, solve the equation, and that will give you the x intercept!
