Find the x and y Intercepts -x+3y=6

Problem

−x+3*y=6

Solution

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

−x+3*(0)=6

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation.

−x=6

x=−6

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

−(0)+3*y=6

4. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 3.

3*y=6

y=2

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(−6,0), y-intercept: *(0,2)
