Answer 2

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.
