Question

For the function 3x – 2y = 12, what is the x-intercept?

-4

4

6

-6

Answer 1

b

Answer 2

set Y equal to zero and solvefor X!

Answer 3

\[3x-2(0)=12\]
\[3x-0=12\]
\[3x=12\]
\[x=4\]

Answer 4

3x – 2y = 12

Divide by 12

\(\dfrac{x}{4} + \dfrac{y}{-6} = 1\)

x-intercept (4,0)
y-intercept (0,-6)
Slope -6/(-4) = 3/2

There is good information in the Intercept Form.
