Question

Please help, will give medal!!

What are the x and y intercept of the graph of 3x+4y=-36??


x-intercept :-12, y-intercept:-9
x-intercept:-9, y-intercept: 12
x-intercept: 9, y-intercept: -12
x intercept: 12, y-intercept: -9

Answer 1

Mmk, well, to make this function look not as ugly, we should get y alone.

Answer 2

Are you familiar with reverse PEMDAS?

Answer 3

kind of not exactly

Answer 4

Mmk, no problem at all. Pemdas is what you do to solve a problem, and reverse pemdas is what you do to change it up. Now, for this, you have to subtract and add first.

Answer 5

so would it be

4y= -3x - 36 ?

Answer 6

Correct! Now, get rid of the "4" multiplying the "y".

Answer 7

what do u mean by multiplying wouldn't u divide

Answer 8

Math is about segregation; no equal rights here.

Answer 9

Yes you're right; I typed that incorrectly.

Answer 10

so would you divide 4 by -36?

Answer 11

So, you divide everything by 4 to get y alone

Answer 12

everything

Answer 13

The 3x and the -36 and the 4y is being divided by 4.

Answer 14

-3x, sorry

Answer 15

so would it be y=-3/4x-9 ?

Answer 16

Correct! Now, when is there an x-intercept?

Answer 17

It happens when which variable is equal to 0? X or Y?

Answer 18

I'm lost

Answer 19

Okay, no problem.

Answer 20

So, we have the funtion y= -3/4x -9.

Answer 21

so would I have to graph it?

Answer 22

That graph will look something like this
