: I missed 2 weeks of class and missed the intercept section. What are the steps to Find the y-intercept and x-intercept of the graph of the equation 2x%2B3y-6=0 From what I gather x needs to be set to zero, then the formula worked out? This question is from textbook Algebra for College Students

Basically, that's what you need to do: Set x = 0, then solve for y to get the y-intercept and set y = 0, then solve for x to get the x-intercept.
2x+%2B+3y+-6+=+0 Set x = 0, solve for y.
3y+-+6+=+0 Add 6 to both sides.
3y+=+6 Divide both sides by 3.
y+=+2 The y-intercept!
2x+%2B+3y+-+6+=+0 Set y = 0, solve for x.
2x+-+6+=+0 Add 6 to both sides.
2x+=+6 Divide both sides by 2.
x+=+3 The x-intercept!
