Question

What is the x intercept of the line 6x - 5y = 12?​

Answer 1

x = 2 ⇒ point (2, 0)

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the place where the line crosses the x-axis. This is also when y = 0.

So, set y equal to 0 and solve for x:

6x - 5y = 12

6x - 5 * 0 = 12

6x = 12

x = 12/6 = 2

The x-intercept, thus, is at x = 2.

Answer 2

2,0

Explanation:

6x-5y=12

subtract 6x from both sides.

-5y=-6x+12

divide -5 on both sides.

y=6/5x-12/5
