Question 537488
The x-intercept is the place where the line crosses the x-axis.  In other words, y=0.  To find it, substitute 0 for y, solve for x.  Then you have the x and y coordinates of the x-intercept.<P>
3x-0=6<P>
divide both sides by 3<P>
x=2<P>
The x-intercept is (2,0)<P>
For the y-intercept set x=0, then solve for y.  You can also manipulate the equation into the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) where b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept.  This equation is set up in a way that it's easier to substitute 0 for x.<P>
3(0)-y=6<P>
-y=6<P>
Divide both sides by -1.<P>
y = -6<P>
The y-intercept is (0,-6).
