Answer:
Given:
- Express y in terms of x in the equation 2x – 3y = 12.
Find:
- Find the points where the line represented by this equation cuts x axis and y axis.
Calculations:
⇢ 2x - 3y = 12
⇢ 2x - 12 = 3y
⇢ y = 2/3x - 4
Adding y = 0 in the given equation, we get:
⇢ 2x - 3(0) = 12
⇢ 2x - 0 = 12
⇢ x = 6
Therefore, value of x in the equation is 6.
Adding x = 0 in the given equation, we get:
⇢ 2(0) - 3y = 12
⇢ 0 - 3y = 12
⇢ -3y = 12
⇢ y = -4
Therefore, value of y in the equation is -4.
Therefore, (6 , 0) and (0, -4) are the two points which cuts x-axis and y-axis.

Answer:
Step 1:
Given equation is 2x-3y=12
Lines cuts by both x-axis and y –axis
Step 2:
y can be expressed in terms of x as,
2x-3y=12
=2x-12=3y
y= 2/3x-4
Step 3:
the points where this line cuts the x-axis and y-axis can be found as,
put y=0 in 2x-3y=12
=2x-3(0)=12
2x-0=12
X=6
Step 4:
Put x=0 in 2x-3y=12
Then 2(0)-3y=12
0-3y=12
-3y=12
Y= -4
Result:
Thus the points of both x-axis and y axis is (6,0) and (0,-4)
