Question

The equation of a line is 6x-2y=12

Find the x-intercept and y-Intersept.

a: x= -2, y=6
b: x= 2, y=-6
c: x= -2, y=-6
d: x= 2, y=6

Answer 1

Hello,

The answer to this question is B

To Prove this I will work it out.

First we need to know 2 things:

x intercept: plug in 0 for y

y intercept: plug in 0 for x

Now that we know this we can solve for x

6x-2(0)=12

6x=12

x=2

Now solving for y:

6(0)-2y=12

-2y=12

y=-6

So the x=2 and y= -6

Your answer is B. Have a great day!

Answer 2

The answer is b x=2, y=-6
