Question

Identify the correct x intercept and y intercept of the equation 4x - 3y = 24.

My answers is x intercept = (8, 0); y intercept = (0, 6)

Am I right? :)

Answer 1

Here's how you can check:

4(8)-3(0) = 24
32 - 0 = 24 oops

Here's how you identify the real x-intercept and y-intercept:

x intercept is where y = 0.
4x-3(0) = 24
4x - 0 = 24
4x = 24
x = ?

y intercept is where x = 0
4(0)-3y = 24
0-3y = 24
-3y = 24
y = ?
