Question

To find the x-intercept, we let y = 0 and solve for x and to find y-intercept, we let x=0 and solve for y. Figure out the x-intercept and y-intercept in given equation of the line. 6x + 2y = 12

Answer 1

X-intercept: (2, 0)

Y-intercept: (0, 6)

Explanation:

X-intercept means y-coordinate of 0:

6x +2×0 = 12

6x = 12

x = 2 ← x-coordinate

Y-intercept means x-coordinate of 0:

6×0 + 2y = 12

2y = 12

y = 6 ← y-coordinate
