Answer:

y intercept is located at (0,6)

x intercept is located at (-3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

given -2x + y =6

at the y intercept, x = 0

Substitute x=0 into equation

-2x + y =6

-2(0) + y =6

0 + y = 6

y = 6.

Hence y intercept is located at (0,6)

at the x intercept, y = 0

Substitute y=0 into equation

-2x + y =6

-2x + 0 =6

-2x  =6  (divide both sides by -2)

x = 6 / (-2) = -3

Hence x intercept is located at (-3,0)
