Question

A linear function is defined by the equation 3x - 2y = 6

what is the x and y intercept

Answer 1

x -intercept is at (2, 0).

y -intercept is at (0, -3).

Explanation:

x intercept is found when y = 0:

3x - 2(0) = 6

3x = 6

x = 2.

x intercept is found when x = 0:

3(0) - 2y = 6

-2y = 6

y = -3.

Answer 2

X intercept = (2,0)

Y intercept = (0,-3)

Explanation:

To find x intercept make y into 0

3(x) - 2(0) =6

3x = 6

x = 2

X intercept = (2,0)

Y intercept do the same

Y intercept make x into 0

3(0) - 2(y) =6

-2y = 6

y = -3

Y intercept = (0,-3)
