Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line given by the equation below?

3x−4y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 is x intercept and y = -3 is y intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

x intercept is the point where the line is intersects or crosses x - axis. at this point y co-ordinate is zero

so for x intercept substitute y =0 in given equation of line.

3x - 4(0) = 12

3x = 12

x = 4.

so, x = 4 is x intercept of line.

similarly y intercept is at x = 0,

3(0) - 4y = 12

-4y = 12

y = -3.
