Question

At what point does y = 3x - 2 intercept: a) The y-axis: b) The x - axis:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Interception at y-axis

- Take value of x to be 0

=> y = 3(0) - 2

=> y = -2

=> y-intercept is (0, -2)

b) Interception at x-axis

- Take value of y to be 0

=> 0 = 3x - 2

=> 3x = 2

=> x = 2/3

=> x-intercept is (2/3, 0)

Answer 2

Answer:

y-intercept is (0, −2)

x-intercept is (2/3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-2

y=mx+c (m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept)

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, −2)

To determine the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x.

So, 0=3x-2. We can rearrange this... 2=3x therefore x=2/3

The x-intercept is (2/3, 0)

Hope this helps!
