Choose the correct procedure used to graph the equation 3x - 4y = 12 using the intercepts method. Solve the equation for y to find an intercept of (-3, 0); solve the equation for x to find a y-intercept of (0, 4). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points. Solve the equation for y to get a y-intercept of (0, -3) and a slope of three fourths. Plot the y-intercept, count the slope to get another point and draw the line that passes through the two points. Choose two different values; plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values. Plot the two poi

There is too much reading for my pea-brain to comprehend

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Do you know what the intercept method is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol sorry hold on

@Helpmeplease99 you got this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the wording is confusing me though.

Just one question.. what exactly is the intercept method? If I know that I could probably answer the question..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We call it x intercept if y=0 : y=0 : 3x=30 :x=10 (10 ,0) We call it y intercept if x=0 x=0 : -5y=30 : y= -6 (0,-6) Now connect these 2 points . That's the line.

@InstagramDoll Guess what?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You pretty much just answered your own question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be? Let x equal zero and solve for y to find a y-intercept of (0, -3). Let y equal zero and solve for x to find an x-intercept of (4, 0). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did but haveno idea what is the answer lolll

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

From the information provided by you, yes that is the correct one :)
