Question

Find the x- and y-intercept of the line.

x + 4y = 36? help

Answer 1

notice this line
there are 2 points there

on point hits the y-axis, thus called the y-intercept
another point hits the x-axis, thus called the x-intercept

notice the one hitting the "y", y = 2, what is "x"?

notice the one hitting the "x", x = 4, what is "y"?

Answer 2

so what do i do after that?

Answer 3

x-intercept is 9; y-intercept is 36.
is that the answer?

Answer 4

well, notice when the line hits the "y", the x = 0
when it hits the "x", y =0

how to find the intercepts?

if you want the x-intercept, set \(\bf y = 0\) in the equation and solve for "x"
if you want the y-intercept, set \(\bf x = 0\) in the equation and solve for "y"

Answer 5

x+4y=36
set y=0 first to get your x-int
x+4(0)=36
x=36

then set x=0 to get y-int
0+4y=36
y=9

Answer 6

thanks jojo, i juss had to switch them right?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Write y = mc012-1.jpgx + 4 in standard form using integers.\[Write y \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }x + 4 \in standard form using integers.? help jojo!\]

Answer 9

add y= to the second equation

Answer 10

well standard form all it means that your equation should look in this form
ex. x+y=0 meaning all the variables on one side
so for this one move 3/5x to the side where y is... ill show you
y=35x+4∈
y-35x=4∈

Answer 11

–3x – 5y = 20

would that be the answer?
