Question

Find the intercepts and sketch the graph of each line.
6x - y = 2
what is the x int and y int
I need the problem written out.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{3}$

$-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is

$6x-y=2$

The $x$ intercept is the point on the line where $y=0$ So

$6x-0=2\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2}{6}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1}{3}$

The $x$ intercept is $\dfrac{1}{3}$.

The $y$ intercept is the point on the line where $x=0$ So

$6\times 0-y=2\\\Rightarrow y=-2$

The $y$ intercept is $-2$.
