Question

Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 2x-6y=24 and select the appropriate option below.

Answer 1

To find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 6(0) = 24
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12....so the x int is (12,0)

to find the y int, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
2(0) - 6y = 24
-6y = 24
y = -24/6
y = -4...and ur y int is (0,-4)
