Find the x- and y-intercepts of:
2x-3y+=+6
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
2x-3%280%29+=+6
2x+=+6
x+=+3 This is the x-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
2%280%29-3y+=+6
-3y+=+6
y+=+-2 This is the y-intercept.

first - substitute y with 0 which leaves you with 2x-3*0=6 is same as 2x=6 answer 2*3=6 x=3 do the same to 2x substitute x with 0 2*0-3y=6 same as -3y=6 your answer is y=-2 now -3*-2=6 intercepts are: X= 3,0, y=0,2
