My answer is B Identify the x and y intercepts for the equation 3x - 4y = 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)

y-intercept: when x equals 0 x-intercept: when y equals 0

i dont understand

you might wanna check you answer ^_^'

i was right?!!!!!!

What you have to do is first set x to 0 and then see what y will make the equation true. Then: set y to 0 and then see what x will make the equation true. So, with x=0, you have y = -3. 3(0) - 4(-3) = 12 With y=0, you have x = 4. 3(4) - 4(0) = 12 So, (4, 0) and (0, -3)
