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

OpenStudy (518nad):

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

OpenStudy (518nad):

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?

OpenStudy (518nad):

-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 :)
