Question

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line 6x 3y=15

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, set y to 0 and solve for x. For the y-intercept, set x to 0 and solve for y.

For the equation 6x - 3y = 15:

1. X-intercept (let y = 0):
6x - 3(0) = 15
Solving for x gives x = 15/6 or 2.5.

2. Y-intercept (let x = 0):
6(0) - 3y = 15
Solving for y gives y = -5.

So, the x-intercept is (2.5, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -5).
