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

Problem

y=2*x−3

Solution

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

y=2*(0)−3

y=−3

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

0=2*x−3

3. Solve for x by adding 3 to both sides and then dividing by 2

3=2*x

x=3/2

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(3/2,0), y-intercept: *(0,−3)
