x-intercept =
y-intercept = 3
Explanation:
2y = 4x + 6 is the equation of a line. When the line crosses the x-axis the y-coord will be zero. Let y = 0 in the equation to find x-intercept.
y = 0 : 4x + 6 = 0 → 4x = - 6
#→ x = - 3/2 # Similarly , when the line crosses the y-axis the x-coord will be zero.
x = 0 : 2y = 6 → y = 3
