Answer:

x- intercept = 3 , y- intercept = 2

Explanation:

given the equation of the line

2x + 3y = 6

to find the x- intercept, substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x

2x + 3(0) = 6

2x + 0 = 6

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3 ← is the x- intercept

to find the y- intercept, substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for y

2(0) + 3y = 6

0 + 3y = 6

3y = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 2 ← is the y- intercept
