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

Problem

3*x−2*y=12

Solution

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

3*x−2*(0)=12

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation and dividing by the coefficient.

3*x=12

x=4

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

3*(0)−2*y=12

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation and dividing by the coefficient.

−2*y=12

y=−6

Final Answer

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