For this equation: : 2x – 3y = - 6
a. Find the X intercept ________ Find the Y intercept _______
c. Graph the line
2x - 3y = -6
a. To find the x intercept, plug in 0 for y and solve for x .
2x - 3(0) = -6
2x - 0 = -6
2x = -6 Divide both sides of the equation by 2 .
x = -3 The x intercept is -3 .
b. To find the y intercept, plug in 0 for x and solve for y .
2(0) - 3y = -6 Can you finish it?
c. To graph the line, plot the x intercept and the y intercept, then draw a line through them.
