Question
.
Vertical lines, other tha
Some lines will have their intercepts at the origin. In this case the x-intercept and the y-
intercept are the same point.
Example
Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line
2x+y=6.
SOLUTION:
To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and
solve for x.
2x+(0) = 6
2x=6
x=3
The x-intercept is (3,0).
To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x and
solve for y.
2(0)+ y = 6
0+ y = 6
y=6
Ō
The y-intercept is (0,6).
Exercise 1
Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line
4x-3y=-24.
