Find the x and y Intercepts 4y-2x=-6

$4 y - 2 x = - 6$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$4 (0) - 2 x = - 6$

Solve the equation.

Simplify $4 (0) - 2 x$ .

Multiply $4$ by $0$ .

$0 - 2 x = - 6$

Subtract $2 x$ from $0$ .

$- 2 x = - 6$

Divide each term in $- 2 x = - 6$ by $- 2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 2 x = - 6$ by $- 2$ .

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

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

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 6$ by $- 2$ .

$x = 3$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(3, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$4 y - 2 \cdot 0 = - 6$

Solve the equation.

Simplify $4 y - 2 \cdot 0$ .

Multiply $- 2$ by $0$ .

$4 y + 0 = - 6$

Add $4 y$ and $0$ .

$4 y = - 6$

Divide each term in $4 y = - 6$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 y = - 6$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{- 6}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{- 6}{4}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 6}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ and $4$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 6$ .

$y = \frac{2 (- 3)}{4}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$y = \frac{2 \cdot - 3}{2 \cdot 2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{2 \cdot - 3}{2 \cdot 2}$

Rewrite the expression.

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

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \frac{3}{2})$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(3, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \frac{3}{2})$

Step 4

Find the x and y Intercepts 4y-2x=-6
