Question

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

x-intercept: y = 0
4x - 3(0) = 12
4x = 12
x =12/4 = 3
y-intercept: x = 0
4(0) - 3y = 12
-3y = 12
y = 12/(-3) = -4
so, the coordinates of x-intercept and y-intercept are:
(3, 0) and (0, -4)
