Answer

x - intercept = 3

y - intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation

2x + 3y = 6

Step 1: find the x - and y - intercepts

To find x - intercept make y = 0

2x + 3(0) = 6

2x + 0 =6

2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

To find y, make x = 0

2(0) + 3y = 6

0 + 3y = 6

3y = 6

Divide both sides by 3

3y/3 = 6/3

y = 2

Therefore, x- intercept = 3 and y - intercept = 2
