Find the x and y Intercepts 2x-3y=12

Problem

2*x−3*y=12

Solution

1. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

2*x−3*(0)=12

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation.

2*x=12

x=6

3. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

2*(0)−3*y=12

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation.

−3*y=12

y=−4

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(6,0), y-intercept: *(0,−4)
