what is the x-intercept and the y-intercept of 3x + 6y = 12?

Mehek (mehek14):

first you have to write it in this form y = mx + b

Mehek (mehek14):

what will you do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mehek (mehek14):

no you will move the 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mehek (mehek14):

|dw:1424126293695:dw| now you need to get rid of the 6 from 6y do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no:( sorry I'm taking so long to reply, my internet connection is really bad at the moment

Mehek (mehek14):

ok you divide everything by 6

Mehek (mehek14):

|dw:1424126512958:dw|

Mehek (mehek14):

to find the x-intercept, you substitute 0 for y to find the y-intercept, you substitute 0 for x

Mehek (mehek14):

|dw:1424126592946:dw| can you solve for x?
