Find the x and y Intercepts y=3x

Problem

y=3*x

Solution

1. Find the y-intercept by substituting x=0 into the equation.

y=3*(0)

y=0

2. Identify the y-intercept as the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

y-intercept=(0,0)

3. Find the x-intercept by substituting y=0 into the equation.

0=3*x

4. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3

0/3=x

0=x

5. Identify the x-intercept as the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.

x-intercept=(0,0)

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(0,0), y-intercept: *(0,0)
