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

Problem

y=2*x−6

Solution

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

y=2*(0)−6

y=−6

2. Identify the y-intercept as a point.

y-intercept=(0,−6)

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

0=2*x−6

4. Solve for x by adding 6 to both sides and then dividing by 2

6=2*x

x=3

5. Identify the x-intercept as a point.

x-intercept=(3,0)

Final Answer

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