For this equation: : 2x – 3y = - 6
a. Find the X intercept
b. Find the Y intercept
c. Graph the line
2x - 3y = -6
y=mx + b
subtract 3y from both sides: 3y = 2x - 6
divide both sides by 2: y= 1x - 3
Answer. a) m = 1 slope b). b = -3 intercept
a. The x intercept is the value of x at which y = 0. 2x - 3*0 = -6, x=-3
b. The y intercept is the value of y at which x = 0. 2*0 - 3y = -6, y = 2.
The equation can be rewritten as y = (2/3)x + 2
