Express y in ...
Question
Express y in terms of x in the equation 2x − 3y = 12. Find the points where the line represented by the equations 2x − 3y = 12 cuts the x-axis and y-axis.

Solution
We
have
,
2
x
-
3
y
=
12
⇒
3
y
=
2
x
-
12
⇒
y
=
2
x
-
12
3
Now
,
If
x
=
0
,
then
2
0
-
3
y
=
12
⇒
-
3
y
=
12
⇒
y
=
12
-
3
⇒
y
=
-
4
So
,
the
line
2
x
-
3
y
=
12
cuts
the
y
-
axis
at
0
,
-
4
.
Also
,
If
y
=
0
,
then
2
x
-
3
0
=
12
⇒
2
x
=
12
⇒
x
=
12
2
⇒
x
=
6
So
,
the
line
2
x
-
3
y
=
12
cuts
the
x
-
axis
at
6
,
0
.
