Question 170815: find x and y intersept y=2x/3+2: find x and y intersept y=2x/3+2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
lets hope this is written correctly
:
y=(2/3)x+2 this equation is already in slope intercept form y=mx+b where b is the y intercept. The y intercept in this equation is highlight(y=2) in ordered pair form that would be (0,2)
:
the x intercept is found when y=0.......so plug in 0 for y ....
:
0=2/3x+2..multiply terms by 3------>0=2x+6---subt -6 from both sides
:
2x=-6
:
highlight(x=-3)x intercept in ordered pair form (-3,0)
