Question

find the coordinates of points where the graph of the equation 3x+4y=24 intersect x and y axis?

Answer 1

(4,0) on x axis and (0,3)on y axis

Answer 2

Answer:

24/4 = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3*x-4*y-(-24)=0

3x-4y+24  = 0

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  3x-4y+24  = 0 and calculate its properties

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 6/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 6.00000

 y-intercept = 24/4  =  6
