Find the X intercept and the Y intercept of 2X - Y = -2

1 Answer

We can quickly convert this to slope-intercept form to make it easier to find the y and x intercepts.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Add y to both sides.

2x = -2 + y

Add 2 to both sides.

y = 2x + 2

We automatically know the y-intercept is 2.

To find the x intercept, we need to replace the value of y with 0.

0 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

-2 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -1

The x-intercept is equal to -1.
