Question

Reduce the equation 3x-2y+4=0 to intercepts from and find the length of the segment intercepted between axes

Answer 1

Give me thumbs up if u like

Answer 2

Answer:

x-intercept is -2 and y-intercept is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation  3x- 2y +6 =0

To find : Reduce the equation to the double intercept form and find the x- and y-intercepts ?

Solution :

The double intercept form is    $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}= 1$

where, a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept

Equation  $3x-2y= -6$

Divide both side by -6,

$\frac{3x}{-6}-\frac{2y}{-6} = \frac{-6}{-6}$

$\frac{x}{-2}+\frac{y}{3} = 1$

On comparing,

x-intercept is -2 and y-intercept is 3.
