Question

The $x$ and $y$ intercepts of the line $2x-3y+6=0$, respectively are :

• A. $2,3$
• B. $3,2$
• C. $-3,2$
• D. $3,-2$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$-3,2$

$\text{For x-intercept, we put}y=0$
$\Rightarrow 2x+6=0\Rightarrow x=-3$
Hence, $\text{x-intercept is (-3,0)}$
$\text{For y-intercept, we put}x=0$
$\Rightarrow -3y+6=0\Rightarrow y=2$
Hence, $\text{y-intercept is (0,2)}$
