Find the X intercept and the Y intercept for 2x-6y=12

Answer 1

See Below

Explanation:

Given: 2x-6y=12

Plug 0 in the equation for y:

y is zero

2x-6(0)=12

2x=12

The x-intercept: (6,0)

Plug 0 in the equation for x:

x is zero

2(0)-6y=12

−6y=12

The y-intercept: (0,−2)

Answer 2

x: (6,0)

y: (0,-2)

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x . To find the y intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y .

Ex -

X : 2x -6(0)=12

2x=12

2 cancels out with 2

12/2 = 6

Y: 2(0 )- 6y =12

-6y=12

negative 6 times negative 6 cancels

12/-6 = -2
