Question

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of 2x + 6y =24

Answer 1

x-intercept = 12, y-intercept = 4

Explanation:

To find the x and y intercept, substitute 0 in for both values.

Substitute 0 into x:

2(0) + 6y = 24

6y = 24

Divide each side by 6:

y = 4

Substitute 0 into y:

2x + 6(0) = 24

2x = 24

Divide each side by 2:

x = 12
