Chapter 4: Q. 589 (page 567)

In the following exercises, find the intercepts of each equation.
$2 x + 3 y = 12$

Short Answer

Expert verified

x-intercept is $(6, 0)$ and y-intercept is $(0, 4)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

Equation $2 x + 3 y = 12$

Step 2. Finding x-intercept

Putting y=0 , we will get x-intercept

$2 x + 3 y = 12 2 x + 3 (0) = 12 2 x + 0 = 12 2 x = 12 x = \frac{12}{2} x = 6$

x-intercept is $(6, 0)$

Step 3. Finding y-intercept

Putting x=0 , we will get y-intercept

$2 x + 3 y = 12 2 (0) + 3 y = 12 0 + 3 y = 12 y = \frac{12}{3} y = 4$

y-intercept is $(0, 4)$ .

Step 4. x and y intercepts table

x	y	(x, y)
6	0	(6,0)
0	4	(0,4)
