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 subtracting 3 from both sides.

−3=−2*x

4. Divide by -2 to isolate the variable.

x=(−3)/(−2)

x=1.5

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(1.5,0), y-intercept: *(0,3)
