. Find the x and y intercepts. Please show all of your work. -3x + 8y = 24
yint=3
x=-8
3x+24=3y x+8=y
y intercept is 8 and x intercept is -8
x intercept is when y =0 y intercept is when x=0
Yeah... except the question asks for 8y NOT 3y so the y intercept will be 3 but yes the x intercept is -8 and yes you find the intercepts by setting the opposite variable to 0.
so it would be this (-8,0)(0,-8)
nope
ill plot it for you
Oh u are right I am sorry for confusing u
simple one equation so just plug in the value for x = 0 once and y = 0 other time u will get the x and y intercepts !!!!!
3x+24=8y 3/8x+3=y (3/8)(0)+3=y y=3 y intercept 3/8x+3=0 3/8x=-3 3x=-24 x=-8 x interecept
now that I understand.. thanks
when x = 0 -3x + 8y = 24 => -3*0 + 8y = 24 => y = 3 when y = 0 -3x + 8*0 = 24 => x = -8 intercepts are (0, 3) and (-8,0)
I always give everyone the wrong answer and confuse them!
haahahha u dont feel like that..at least u dont use softwares for solving
