Find the x and y Intercepts y=-2/3x+4

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 4$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = - \frac{2}{3} x + 4$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $- \frac{2}{3} x + 4 = 0$ .

$- \frac{2}{3} x + 4 = 0$

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ .

$- \frac{x \cdot 2}{3} + 4 = 0$

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$- \frac{2 x}{3} + 4 = 0$

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- \frac{2 x}{3} = - 4$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $- \frac{3}{2}$ .

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

Simplify both sides of the equation.
