PLEASE HELP
graph each equation using x- and y-intercepts
-4x+y= -12

okay so y intercept is when x=0
OpenStudy (518nad):
and x intercept is when y =0
OpenStudy (518nad):
|dw:1482269454691:dw|
OpenStudy (ashsmashum):
so both would be equal 0
OpenStudy (518nad):
thats how u build the axis lines

no for the y intercept u set x=0 and see what y is
OpenStudy (518nad):
-4x+y= -12
this equaton is representing all the points (x,y) and its telling u a rule for the x and ys
so if u have x=0
(0,?)
we must see what y is at that point that still satisfies the rule of our line
OpenStudy (518nad):
you can find the x intercept now
OpenStudy (518nad):
hope this hlped bye :)
OpenStudy (ashsmashum):
yes thank you so the x would be 4?

-4x+y= -12
-4*0+y=-12
y=-12
(0,-12) is known as the y intercept because it passes thru the x=0 line or the y axis
OpenStudy (518nad):
|dw:1482269727678:dw|
OpenStudy (ashsmashum):
so the x would be 0?
OpenStudy (518nad):
work for the x intercept
-4x+y= -12
y=0
-4x+0= -12
x=-12/-4
x=3
(3,0) is the x intercept
OpenStudy (ashsmashum):
oh okay thank you :)
