express y in terms of x in the equation 3x-2y-6=0 . find the points where the line represented by this equation cuts the x axis and y axis

Question

Linear equation in 2 variable 

Answer 1

3x - 2y - 6 = 0

-2y = -3x + 6

y = (3/2)x - 3

The y-intercept is -3.

 

To find the x-intercept, let y = o and solve for x.

0 = (3/2)x - 3

3 = (3/2)x

2 = x

 

BTW, linear equations are always in two variables unless they are a horizontal or vertical line.
