Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 2x − 6y = 24 and select the appropriate option below. (5 poin
ts) Group of answer choices The x-intercept is (2, 0); the y-intercept is (0, –6). The x-intercept is (0, 2); the y-intercept is (–6, 0). The x-intercept is (12, 0); the y-intercept is (0, –4). The x-intercept is (0, 12); the y-intercept is (–4, 0).
The x-intercept is found when y=0, and the y-intercept is found when x=0. If y=0, then we have:
2x=24
x=12
Therefore, the x-intercept is 12, so the full coordinates are (12, 0). Note that the only option with this x-intercept is C, so C is the correct answer.
You can find the y-intercept similarly. If x is zero, then:
