Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `x + 2y=3`?

Answer 1

`x` intercept is `3` and `y` intercept is `3/2`

Explanation:

`x+2y=3`

For `y=0`,
`color(white)(xx)x=3`

For `x=0`,
`color(white)(xx)2y=3`
`=>color(red)(1/2xx)2y=color(red)(1/2xx)3`
`=>y=3/2`

Therefore, `x` intercept is `3` and `y` intercept is `3/2`:
graph{(3-x)/2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
