Chapter 3: Q. 409 (page 354)

Find the intercepts of the equation.

x+2y=6

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x- and y- intercept is 6and 3 respectively

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

The equation of a line for which the x- and y- intercept has to be determined is,

x+2y=6

02

Step 2. Concept

The X- and Y- intercept of a line is the x and y coordinates, respectively, of the points where the line intersects the x-axis and y-axis respectively.

03

Sep 3. Calculation

For x- intercept,

Put y=0in the given equation, we get

x+0=6x=6

For y- intercept,

Put x=0in the given equation, we get

0+2y=6y=3
