Question 116726


the {{{x-intercept}}} is the value of {{{x}}} when {{{y = 0}}}(do it always, for linear, quadratic, or other exponential equations); so you need to set {{{y}}} to {{{0}}} and solve for {{{x}}}

example:

{{{3x + y = 6}}}………..if {{{y=0}}}, then {{{x}}} will be:

{{{3x + 0 = 6}}}

{{{3x = 6}}}
{{{x=6/3}}}
{{{x = 2}}}

Now we know that the point (2,0) is {{{x-intercept}}}.
