Given a linear equation,


y\text{ = mx + c}

The x-intercept can be obtained by setting y to 0 and then solving for x. Similarly, the y-intercept can be obtained by setting x to 0 and then solving for y.

(a) x - 2y = 2

x-intercept :


\begin{gathered} \text{when y = 0} \\ x\text{ - 0 = 2} \\ x\text{ = 2} \end{gathered}

y-intercept:


\begin{gathered} \text{when x = 0} \\ 0\text{ - 2y = 2} \\ -2y\text{ = 2} \\ \text{Divide both sides by -2} \\ y\text{ = -1} \end{gathered}
