Question

What are the x and y intercepts for the following equation? 3x + 2y = 6

a:(-3,0);(0,5) B:(0,9);(0,10) C: Undefined D: (-3,0);(-4,0) E:(2,0);(0,-6)​

Answer 1

Answer: None that are listed

Explanation:

To find the x and y-intercepts, you want to either set x=0 or y=0.

x-intercept

3x+2(0)=6 [multiply]

3x=6 [divide both sides by 3]

x=2

Now, we know that the x-intercept is (2,0).

y-intercept

3(0)+2y=6 [multiply]

2y=6 [divide both sides by 2]

y=3

Now, we know that the y-intercept is (0,3). This tells us that the answer isn't listed in the answer choices.
