Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation. Please show all of your work. Then graph the equation and submit your graph through the dropbox.

-x – 3y =

Answer 1

-x-3y=4

Answer 2

Find the x intercept by replacing y with 0. Find the y intercept by replacing x with 0

Answer 3

x-intercept is when y = 0, so
\[-x -3(0) = 4 \rightarrow x = -4\]
y intercept is when x = 0
\[-0 -3(y) = 4 \rightarrow y = -4/3\]

Answer 4

So if y is 0, -x = 4 so x = -4 and the x intercept is (-4,0). If x is 0 -3y = 4 and y = -4/3 so the y intercept is (0,-4/3)

Answer 5

y intercept = -3y/-3 = 4/-3 = - 4/3 = (0,- 4/3
x intercept = -x/-x= 4/-x = -4 = (-4,0)
