x-intercept


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


-3x%2B5y=-2 Start with the given equation.


-3x%2B5%280%29=-2 Plug in y=0.


-3x%2B0=-2 Multiply 5 and 0 to get 0.


-3x=-2 Simplify.


x=%28-2%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=2%2F3 Reduce.


So the x-intercept is .
