Answer:

For the equation -2x + y = 6,

the y - intercept = 6 and the x - intercept = -3

Explanation:

x -Intercept is a point in the equation, where y coordinate is 0.

Similarly, y -Intercept is a point in the equation, where x coordinate is 0.

here, -2x + y = 6 is the given equation.

For y - intercept : put x = 0

we get -2(0) + y = 6

or, y = 6

⇒The y - intercept = 6

For x - intercept : put y = 0

we get -2x + 0 = 6

or, x = -6/2 = -3

⇒The x - intercept = -3

Hence, for the equation -2x + y = 6, the y - intercept = 6 and the x - intercept = -3
