Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `y= 2/3x + 4`?

Answer 1

`x=-6`
`y=4`

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute `y=0` into the equation (as the graph crosses the x-axis when y is zero).

`0=2/3x+4`
`2/3x=-4`
`x=-4/(2/3)`
`x=-4*(3/2)`
`x=-6`

Similarly, to find the y-intercept, substitute `x=0` into the equation.

`y=2/3*0+4`
`y=4`

Hope this helps :)
