What is the x-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 6
Answer: a.) 3
Explanation:
Using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents variable x and the vertical axis represents variable y, then x-intercept or horizontal intercept is a point where the graph of the function intersects the x-axis of the coordinate system. As such, these points satisfy y = 0 where the line crosses the x-axis.
Then replacing this value in the equation
2x-3y = 6
2x - 3*0 = 6
2x = 6
x = 6/2 = 3
The x-intercept is 3
Answer: a.) 3
