Question 469571: I have to find the coordinates of the y-intercept and the x-intercept for:
-2x+3y=0. I believe the coordinates for the y-intercept is (0,0), and the x-intercept is (0,0). I'm asking if you can validate this for me or show me the correct answer and steps to get it. Thank you.

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
Equation -2+x+%2B+3+y+=+0 describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is -a%2Fb+=+--2%2F3.
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 0/-2 = 0.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 0/3 = 0.
  • Slope is --2/3 = 0.666666666666667.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.666666666666667*x+0.
