How do you find the x-intercepts and y-intercepts of y=3x+2?

Question

Algebra 2

Answer 1

y = 3x + 2

 

The equation is in y = mx + b form, where b is the y intercept.

So, the y intercept is 2

For the x intercept, set y to 0 and solve for x

 

0 = 3x + 2

x = -2/3

So, the y intercept is 2

and the x intercept is -2/3
