The equation is -3x+2y=12

To find the y intercept, we simply let x equal 0.

So -3(0)+2y=12

or y=6, this is the y intercept.

The point is (0,6)

You can also write the original equation as

2y=3x+12 or y=3/2x +6 which tells you write away the

y intercept is 6 since this is slope intercept form (y=mx+b) where b is the slope.

Now to find the x intercept, let y=0

So you have 0=3/2x+6 or

-6=3/2x ro -12=3x and the x intercept is -4.

It is probably easier to set y=o in the original equation

so we have -3x+0=12 and x=-4 again so the point is (-4,0)
