Fine the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept of each function.?

Question

Can someone please explain to me how to solve this kind of problem.

The function is y=3x-6

Answer 1

the given function is a straight line and is of the form y=mx+c

comparing we get the slope m=3

an intercept is where the function meets one of the axes x or y

y intercept is obtained substituting x=0 in the given function=> y=-6 which is the y intercept

x intercept is obtained by substituting y=0 in the given function=>3x=6 or x=2 ,the x intercept

Answer 2

Here's a good explanation...

Hope this helps you!  Please email anytime for further questions.

Answer 3

if y = 3x - 6

y intercept  is when x = 0 which is = - 6

x intecept is when y =0

if y = 0, 3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

so, x intercept = 2, y intercept = -6

Answer 4

y = 3x - 6

the slope is 3...

the y-intercept is -6...

therefore;

the x-intercept

= -(-6/3)

= -(-2)

= 2

Answer 5

When it's in this form:

y = mx + b

The slope is m, the y-intercept is b, and you can find the x-intercept by making y=0 and solving for x.

So....

y = 3x - 6

Slope = 3

y-intercept = -6

x-intecept:

0 = 3x - 6

6 = 3x

2 = x

Answer 6

this function is written in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. From that, m=3, so the slope is 3.

b= -6, so the y intercept is (0,-6) or just -6. The x intercept is when the y is 0 eg (4,0). so make y=0 in the function: 0=3x-6. add 6 to both sides: 6=3x. divide both sides by 3 and you get 2=x. the x intercept is (2, 0) or just 2. I hope this helps!!

Answer 7

this has the form

y=mx+b

y=y coordinate

m=slope

x=x coordinate

b=y intercept

slope=3

x intercept=2

y intercept=-6
