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 subtracting 2 from both sides.

−2=3*x

4. Divide by 3 to isolate x

x=−2/3

Final Answer

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