Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `y=3x-6`?

Answer 1

x-intercept `a=2`
y-intercept `b=-6`

Explanation:

Given equation of the line `y=3x-6`

To find the x-intercept a, we set y=0, then solve for x

that is

`y=3x-6`

`0=3x-6`

`6=3x`

`6/3=(3x)/3`

`6/3=(cancel3x)/cancel3`

`x=2` and this is a

so `a=2`

from the format of the equation `y=mx+b`
We can see right away the y-intercept b

y-intercept `b=-6`

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful
