Question

Given: y = 3x - 4.

What is the x-intercept?

(0, -4)
(0, 4/3)
(4/3, 0)

Answer 1

the equation is in y=mx+b form where m is the slope, x is the x intercept, and b is the y intercept

Answer 2

because you have a variable instead of a number for the x intercept, you need to find what x is

Answer 3

try graphing it. the y intercept is -4, which means there is a point of 0,-4

Answer 4

on*

Answer 5

None. x-intercept is when y = 0. you just have to solve for x when y=0

x is not x-intercept, it's variable.

Answer 6

ok so ur formula is Y = Mx + b

M is the slope B is the y intercept

so graph -4 on the Y axis, then for ur slope go up 3 over right 1 till you hit the X-axis

Answer 7

@Catlover5925 explained it a lot better than i was haha

Answer 8

@geerky42 x is a variable that represents the x intercept

Answer 9

are they anyways i can do it algebraically? im pretty sure there is i just forgot how

Answer 10

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/strtlneq.htm looks like a good site(:

Answer 11

it explains it pretty well on there

Answer 12

figured it out take away 4 from both sides of the equation then divide by 3 right?

Answer 13

so it would be C?

Answer 14

x-intercept is the value of x when y=0.

Variable x itself don't really represent x-intercept.

Answer 15

so im wrong?

Answer 16

no, youre correct(:

Answer 17

@geerky42 was referring to me

Answer 18

oh okay! thanks so muchh guys,<33
