How do you find the x and y intercept of 3x+0.5y=6?

Question

I know you set x and y to 0.. and then divide by the other variable's number.

I think?

Could somebody explain how to find the intercepts of this problem?

Thank you

Answer 1

x intercept, when y is zero

3x=6
x=2
y intercept,when x is zero
.5y=6
y=12

Answer 2

When is y not 0?

Answer 3

y is not zero along the line 3x+.5y=6
