In order to find the x-intercept to a function, y must equal 0.
First, set up the equation in terms of y
So:
4x - 6y = 12
4x = 6y + 12
x = (6y)/4 + (12)/4
x = (6y)/4 + 3
Substitute 0 for y:
x = (6[0])/4 + 3
x = (0)/4 +3
x = (0) + 3
x = 3
The x-intercept of 4x - 6y = 12 is (3,0)

What are the intercepts of -4x plus 6y-5z equals 60?
-4x + 6y - 5z = 60At the x-intercept, 'y' and 'z' are zero:-4x = 60 ===> x = -15At the y-intercept, 'x' and 'z' are zero:6y = 60 ===> y = 10At the z-intercept, 'x' and 'y' are zero:-5z = 60 ===> z = -12
How do you turn 3x-6y equals 12 in slope intercept form?
3x-6y=12; subtract 12 & add 6y to both sides 3x-12=6y; divide by 6 (1/2)x-2=y; re-write y=(1/2)x-2 slope intercept form
4x plus 2y equals -12 8x plus 6y equals -4?
x = -8, y = 10
What is the slope-intercept of 6y - 3x equals 18?
If: 6y-3x = 18 Then: y = 0.5x+3 which is in slope-intercept form
8x-6y equals 18 and 4x-6y equals 6?
8x - 6y = 184x - 6y = 6from the first equation:6y = 8x - 18substitute this value in the second equation:4x - (8x - 18) = 64x - 8x + 18 = 6-4x = 6 - 18-4x = -12x = 3Solve for y :8 x 3 - 6y = 1824 - 6y = 186y = 6y = 1
