can you please help me find both the x and y intercepts of the line 6x-2y=6
---------------------
A line crosses the x-axis at y=0, and the y-axis at x=0. right?
----------------------
So, in 6x-2y=6 find what x is when y = 0, and what y is when x = 0.
6x-2y=6
@x=0: -2y=6
y = -3
That's the point (0,-3), the y-intercept.
-----------------
@y=0: 6x=6
x = 1
That's the point (1,0), the x-intercept.
