Homework Help: Algebra, finding the intercept, help?

Posted by Allyson on Thursday, November 4, 2010 at 5:46pm.

How do you find the x and y intercept of 3x+0.5y=6?

I know you set x and y to 0.. and then divide by the other variable's number.

I think?

Could somebody explain how to find the intercepts of this problem?

Thank you
