what are the x and y intercepts for the equation 4x – 3y = -12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find intercepts: x intercepts y =0 y intercepts x=0 so tell me what you get..note - do them separately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-3=-12 ..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no only one at a time.....so just find x intercepts first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x - 3(0) = -12 4x = -12 x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct....now do the y intercepts where x = 0 and what do you get...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at it again, negative/negative gives you what type of number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Postive 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be (-3,0) and (4,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be (0, -3)...the other one is correct. Good job
