Find the x and y Intercepts x+2y=6

Problem

x+2*y=6

Solution

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

x+2*(0)=6

x=6

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

0+2*y=6

3. Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 2

y=6/2

y=3

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(6,0), y-intercept: *(0,3)
