Question

What is the x intercept of the graph of the inequality 2x + 3y > 12

Answer 1

Answer: x intercept = 6

This is the location (6,0)

===============================================================

Explanation:

I assume you're talking about the boundary line of the inequality. The boundary line equation is 2x + 3y = 12

To find the x intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x

2x + 3y = 12

2x + 3(0) = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

The boundary line 2x+3y = 12 crosses the x axis at x = 6.

We can say the x intercept is x = 6. This is the location (6,0).

Side note: the y intercept is y = 4, which is found by plugging in x = 0 and solving for y.
