Find the x and y Intercepts y=(x-2)/(3x-1)

$y = \frac{x - 2}{3 x - 1}$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = \frac{x - 2}{3 x - 1}$

Solve the equation.

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$x - 2 = 0$

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 2$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(2, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = \frac{(0) - 2}{3 (0) - 1}$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = \frac{0 - 2}{3 (0) - 1}$

Remove parentheses.

$y = \frac{(0) - 2}{3 (0) - 1}$

Simplify $\frac{(0) - 2}{3 (0) - 1}$ .

Subtract $2$ from $0$ .

$y = \frac{- 2}{3 (0) - 1}$

Simplify the denominator.

Multiply $3$ by $0$ .

$y = \frac{- 2}{0 - 1}$

Subtract $1$ from $0$ .

$y = \frac{- 2}{- 1}$

Divide $- 2$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 2$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 2)$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(2, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 2)$
