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 to determine the point where the line crosses the x-axis.

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 of the equation by 3.

3*y=6

y=2

Final Answer

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