Answer:
x-intercept: 2/3
y-intervept: 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 6y = 2
You're supposed to 'cover them'.
If you want to find the x-intercept, you will cover 6y like it doesn't exist. So now, it's going to be:
3x = 2
You'll then solve for x, which will be the x-intercept
3x/3 = 2/3 (Divide both sides by 3)
x = 2/3 or 0.66... (the 6 goes on forever)
Now, to find y, you'll act like x doesn't exist. It's going to be:
6y = 2
Solve for y, which will be the y-intercept
6y/6 = 2/6 (Divide both sides by 6)
y = 1/3 or 0.33... (the 3 goes on forever)
If you put them as coordinates:
x-intercept: (2/3, 0)
y-intercept: (0, 1/3)
