Question

What are the x and y intercepts of the line 2x-3y=-12?

a.) x- intercept: 6, y intercept: -4
b.) x- intercept: 4, y intercept: -6
c.) x - intercept: -4, y intercept: 6
d.) x- intercept: -6 y intercept: 4

Answer 1

help please?

Answer 2

2x – 3y = 12
u will get...
(2/3)x - y = 4
y = (2/3)x -4
now this equation is in the form of
y = mx + b
where b is the y intercept...
so.. in our equation
y intercept is " -4"

to find x intercept...
u have to find the value of "x" when "y" is 0...
y = (2/3)x -4
0 = (2/3)x - 4
(2/3)x = 4
2x = 12
x = 6

Answer 3

a.) x- intercept: 6, y intercept: -4
