Question

How do you find the intercepts for `6x - 3y = -10`?

Answer 1

x-intercept `= -5/3` `color(white)("XXXX")`y-intercept `=10/3`

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of `x` when `y=0` (that is it is the value where the equation crosses the X-axis and along the X-axis, `y-0`)
If `y=0` the equation becomes
`color(white)("XXXX")` `6x-3(0)=-10`
`rarr` `color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `x= -10/6 = -5/3`

Similarly for `y`
