Algebra.Com's Answer #318647 by mananth(16946) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope intercepts are points where the line intersects the x & y axes.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "example 2x+3y=6\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "At the point the line intersects the y axis x is equal to 0. \n" ); document.write( "Plug x= 0 in the equation. 0+3y=6 \n" ); document.write( "3y=6 \n" ); document.write( "y=2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the y intecept is 2 and the line intersects the y axis at (0,2)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "At the point the line intersects the x axis y is equal to 0. \n" ); document.write( "Plug y= 0 in the equation. 2x+0=6 \n" ); document.write( "2x=6 \n" ); document.write( "x=3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the x intecept is 3 and the line intersects the x axis at (3,0)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
