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

Problem

y=3*x−2

Solution

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

y=3*(0)−2

y=−2

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

0=3*x−2

3. Solve for x by adding 2 to both sides of the equation.

2=3*x

4. Divide by 3 to isolate x

x=2/3

Final Answer

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