Question 1197586: You lose track of how many 2-point baskets and 3-point baskets a team makes in a basketball game. The team misses all the 1-point baskets and still scores 54 points. The equation $2x+3y=54$ models the total points scored, where $x$ is the number of 2-point baskets made and $y$ is the number of 3-point baskets made.
What is the x and y intercept?

The x-intercept is where a graph crosses the x axis; at any such point, the y value is 0.
The y-intercept is where a graph crosses the y axis; at any such point, the x value is 0.
The equation is 2x+3y=54.
To find the x-intercept (where y=0), substitute y=0 in the equation and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept (where x=0), substitute x=0 in the equation and solve for y.
You can do the simple calculations on your own.
