Question

Help? How would I solve this?
Identify the x and y intercepts for the equation 4x – 3y = 12.

(4, 0) and (0, -3)

(3, 0) and (0, -4)

(4, 0) and (0, 3)

(-3, 0) and (0, 4)

(3, 0) and (0, 4)

Answer 1

would the first one be the answer?

Answer 2

2nd one

Answer 3

why is that?

Answer 4

see u can find it by reducing the equation to intercept form
that is (x/a) +(y/b)=1 and the reqd intercept will be (a,0) and (0,b)

Answer 5

to get x intercept put y=0 in the eqn , u will get x=3
the x inercept is (3,0)
now put x=0 to get y intercpt, y=-4
y intercept is (0,-4)

Answer 6

here u r given 4x-3y=12
or (4x-3y)/12=1
or 4x/12 -3y/12 =1
or x/3 -y/4=1
or x/3 +(y/(-4))=1
thus the points where the given line meets x and y axis respectively are (3,0) and (0,-4)

Answer 7

thus second option of ur answer is correct

Answer 8

oh okay, thank you guys!!
