Question

Reduce the given equations into intercept form and find their intercepts on the axes: 4x-3y=6

Answer 1

Solution:

*******************"*********************

we know the ,

Intercepts form :

Equation of a line whose

x - intercept is a and

y - intercept is b is

x/a + y/b = 1

****************************************
Here ,

4x - 3y = 6

divide each term by 6 , we get

4x/6 - 3y/6 = 6/6

=> 2x/3 - y/2 = 1


=> x/(3/2) + y/( -2 ) = 1

Therefore ,

x - intercept (a) = 3/2,

y - intercept (b) = -2
