Answer:

x-intercept: (-1.5, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 2)

Explanation:

The x-intercept of an equation is asking for the x value when y is 0.

The y-intercept of an equation is asking for the y value when x is 0.

So,

To find x-intercept, set y equal to 0 and solve for x

To find y-intercept, set x equal to 0 and solve for y

If all else fails, graph the equation and trace the graph to find the xy-intercepts.

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

-4x+3y = 6

Let x = 0 to find the y intercept

3y = 6

Divide by 3

y = 6/3 =2

The y intercept is (0,2)

Let y = 0 to find the x intercept

-4x = 6

Divide by -4

x = 6/-4 = -3/2

The y intercept is (-3/2,0)
