What do you know about the x and y intercepts?

anonymous · Answer

not so much lol

anonymous · Answer

Okay so the x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis and at this point, we know y must be equal to 0. Likewise, for the y intercept we know x=0.

To calculate the y intercept, simply sub x=0 into the original equation and solve for y.
For the x intercept, sub y=0 into the equation and solve for x.

See if you can do this and let me know if you get stuck.

just like tom said your x intercepts are where y is 0 and y intercepts are where x is 0 so plug in like this $$6(0)-3y=18$$
$$0-3y=18$$
$$-3y=18  $$
$$y=-6$$ there fore your intercepts is (0,-6) 

Then for your x intercepts plug 0 in for y $$6x-3(0)=18$$$$6x=18$$$$x=3 $$ therefore your x intercepts is (3,0)

The y intercepts is (0,-6) and x intercepts (3,0)
