PROBLEM

Find the xx - and yy-intercepts of the following lines.
1. 2x+3y=242 x+3 y=24
2. 3x5y=303 x-5 y=30
3. 7x4y=847 x-4 y=84
4. x+y=8x+y=8
5,x=55, x=5
6. 3y=663 y=66

STEP 1

1. The xx-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the xx-axis, which occurs when y=0y = 0.
2. The yy-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the yy-axis, which occurs when x=0x = 0.
3. Each line equation can be solved separately for its intercepts.

STEP 2

1. Find the xx-intercept for each line.
2. Find the yy-intercept for each line.

STEP 3

For the line 2x+3y=242x + 3y = 24, find the xx-intercept by setting y=0y = 0:
2x+3(0)=24 2x + 3(0) = 24 2x=24 2x = 24 x=242=12 x = \frac{24}{2} = 12 The xx-intercept is (12,0) (12, 0) .

STEP 4

For the line 2x+3y=242x + 3y = 24, find the yy-intercept by setting x=0x = 0:
2(0)+3y=24 2(0) + 3y = 24 3y=24 3y = 24 y=243=8 y = \frac{24}{3} = 8 The yy-intercept is (0,8) (0, 8) .

STEP 5

For the line 3x5y=303x - 5y = 30, find the xx-intercept by setting y=0y = 0:
3x5(0)=30 3x - 5(0) = 30 3x=30 3x = 30 x=303=10 x = \frac{30}{3} = 10 The xx-intercept is (10,0) (10, 0) .

STEP 6

For the line 3x5y=303x - 5y = 30, find the yy-intercept by setting x=0x = 0:
3(0)5y=30 3(0) - 5y = 30 5y=30 -5y = 30 y=305=6 y = \frac{30}{-5} = -6 The yy-intercept is (0,6) (0, -6) .

STEP 7

For the line 7x4y=847x - 4y = 84, find the xx-intercept by setting y=0y = 0:
7x4(0)=84 7x - 4(0) = 84 7x=84 7x = 84 x=847=12 x = \frac{84}{7} = 12 The xx-intercept is (12,0) (12, 0) .

STEP 8

For the line 7x4y=847x - 4y = 84, find the yy-intercept by setting x=0x = 0:
7(0)4y=84 7(0) - 4y = 84 4y=84 -4y = 84 y=844=21 y = \frac{84}{-4} = -21 The yy-intercept is (0,21) (0, -21) .

STEP 9

For the line x+y=8x + y = 8, find the xx-intercept by setting y=0y = 0:
x+0=8 x + 0 = 8 x=8 x = 8 The xx-intercept is (8,0) (8, 0) .

STEP 10

For the line x+y=8x + y = 8, find the yy-intercept by setting x=0x = 0:
0+y=8 0 + y = 8 y=8 y = 8 The yy-intercept is (0,8) (0, 8) .

STEP 11

For the line x=5x = 5, find the xx-intercept. Since xx is always 5, the line is vertical and does not cross the xx-axis at any other point. Thus, there is no xx-intercept other than the point itself, which is (5,0) (5, 0) .

STEP 12

For the line x=5x = 5, find the yy-intercept. Since the line is vertical, it does not cross the yy-axis. Therefore, there is no yy-intercept.

STEP 13

For the line 3y=663y = 66, find the xx-intercept. Since yy is always a constant value, the line is horizontal and does not cross the xx-axis. Therefore, there is no xx-intercept.

SOLUTION

For the line 3y=663y = 66, find the yy-intercept by setting x=0x = 0:
3y=66 3y = 66 y=663=22 y = \frac{66}{3} = 22 The yy-intercept is (0,22) (0, 22) .
