x-2%2Ay=3 Start with the given equation

Let's find the x-intercept

To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
x-2%2A%280%29=3 Plug in y=0

x=3 Simplify


So the x-intercept is (note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)



------------------

x-2%2Ay=3 Start with the given equation

Now let's find the y-intercept

To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
1%2A%280%29-2%2Ay=3 Plug in x=0

2%2Ay=3 Simplify

x=3%2F-2 Divide both sides by -2



y=-3%2F2 Reduce



So the y-intercept is (note: the y-intercept will always have a x-coordinate equal to zero)

------------------------------------------

So we have these intercepts:
x-intercept:

y-intercept:
