Question 470187: I'm being asked to find the x and y-intercepts of various equations. One that has me stumped in y=2x-6. I know that -6 is the y-intercept, but in an equation like this, how do I find the x-intercept?

To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 and solve for x.

y=2x-6

0=2x-6

6=2x

6/2=x

3=x

x=3

So the x-intercept is the point (3,0)
