Question

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept for the following equation:

3x−6y=12

Answer 1

(4,0) and (0,-2)

Explanation:

To find the intercepts, substitute a zero for the opposite letter so

to find y-int x = 0 so 3(0) - 6y = 12 so -6y = 12, so y = -2

to find x-int y = 0 so 3x - 6(0) = 12 so 3x = 12, so x = 4
