What are the intercepts of 3x=4y+12? a) x-intercept: (4, 0), y intercept (0, -3) b) x-intercept: (-3, 0), y intercept (0, -4) c) x-intercept: (1, 0), y intercept (0, -3) d) x-intercept: (-4, 0), y intercept (0, -3)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

x intercept is when y = 0 y intercept is when x = 0

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

how do I find that?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

to get x intercept, plug in 0 for y and solve

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

Brb gotta step away for 1 sec

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

x=3 y=4 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d i think

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

3x = 12 -> x = ? 0 = 4x + 12 -> y = ?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

sorry x= (-4,0) y=(0, -3)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

try x again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it equal 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no im wrong hold on

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

for the x intercept y = 0 3x = -12 x = -4 (-4,0) is my answer

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

"3x=4y+12" ???

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

I converted it to 3x+4y=-12 was that wrong?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

errr yeah 3x=4y+12 can become 3x - 4y = 12

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

I started over its (4, 0) and (0, 3)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

now try y again :P

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

-3***

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
