Question

How do you find the x and y intercept of `2x – 6y = 18`?

Answer 1

`"x-intercept "=9," y-intercept "=-3`

Explanation:

`"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses "`
`"the x and y axes"`

`• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"`

`• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"`

`x=0rArr-6y=18rArry=-3larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"`

`y=0rArr2x=18rArrx=9larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"`
