Question

How do you find the x-intercept of the graph represented by the equation 2x - 6y = 12?

Answer 1

Put zero in for the value of y and solve for x

Explanation:

`2x =6y = 12` put zero in for y : y = 0 at the x intercept.

`2x - 6(0) = 12` so

`2x = 12` divide both sides by 2

`(2x)/2 = 12/2` which gives

`x = 6`

The x intercept is ( 6,0)
