Answer:

ordered pairs for the

x-intercept : (6,0)

y- intercepts :(0,9)

Explanation:

Given equation : 3x-2y=18

X- intercept on coordinate plane is point where the line intersect the x- axis.

The coordinate of point y is 0 for x-intercept.

Based on this let the coordinate of X- intercept be (x,0)

we will plug this value in equation 3x-2y=18, to find value of x and hence we will get x-intercept

3x-2y=18

3x -2*0 =18

=> 3x = 18

=> x = 18/3 = 6

Thus, coordinate of x-intercept is (6,0)

Y- intercept on coordinate plane is point where the line intersect the y- axis.

The coordinate of point x is 0 for y-intercept.

Based on this let the coordinate of X- intercept be (0,y)

we will plug this value in equation 3x-2y=18, to find value of y and hence we will get y-intercept

3x-2y=18

3*0 -2y =18

=> 2y = 18

=> y = 18/2 = 9

Thus, coordinate of y-intercept is (0,9)
