Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts of `2x-6y=12`?

Answer 1

X intercept=6
Y intercept=(-2)

Explanation:

If line ax+by+c=0,then
X-intercept`=(-c)/a,a!=0,`
Y-intercept`=(-c)/b,b!=0.`
We have,line `color(red)(2x-6y-12=0)rArra=2,b=-6,c=-12`
So,
X-intercept`=(-c)/a=(-(-12))/2=12/2=6`
Y-intercept`=(-c)/b=(-(-12))/(-6)=12/(-6)=-2`
