Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line?

2x + 3y = –12

A. x-intercept –6, y-intercept –4
B. x-intercept 4, y-intercept –6
C. x-intercept –6, y-intercept 4
D. x-intercept –4, y-intercept 6

Answer 1

plug in 0 for each y and x, one at a time.
2(0) + 3y = –12
2x + 3(0) = –12

then divide.

Answer 2

Ok, let me try that! @silverr

Answer 3

okay :)

Answer 4

The x-intercept is -6 and the y-intercept is -4. Is that correct? :)

Answer 5

@silverr

Answer 6

lets see

2(0) + 3y = –12
-12 / 3 = -4
y = -4


2x + 3(0) = –12
-12 / 2 = -6
x = -6

you are correct !
