Answer:

x - intercept (-4,0)

y -intercept (0,9)

Explanation:

Put in 0 for x.

-9(0) + 4y = 36

4y = 36 Divide both sides by 4

y = 9

(0,9) This is where the line will cross the y axis.

Put in 0 for y

-9y + 4(0) = 36

-9y = 36 Divide both sides by -9

Y = -4

Answer:

(-4,0) , (0,9)

Explanation:

x-intercept is the point where the line touches the x-axis, which means, y = 0.

So when y = 0,

-9x + 4(0) = 36

-9x = 36

x =
(36)/(-9)

x = -4

Therefore, the coordinates of the x - intercept is (-4,0)

y-intercept is the point where the line touches the y-axis, which means , x = 0.

so when x = 0,

-9(0) + 4y = 36

4y = 36

y =
(36)/(4)

y = 9

Therefore, the coordinates of the y - intercept is (0,9)
