Question

What is the intercept of the line y=-1/4x+3

Answer 1

(0,3)

Explanation:

y = -1/4 + 3

The intercept is (0,3)

Answer 2

y-intercept: (0,3); x-intercept: (12,0)

Explanation:

The y-intercept is in a line where x = 0, so to find it, you can plug in 0 for x in the equation.

y = -¹/₄(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 3

So when x = 0, y = 3, therefore the y-intercept is (0,3)

The x-intercept is when y = 0, so plug in 0 into y

0 = -¹/₄x + 3

-3 = -¹/₄x

x = 12

So when = 0, x = 12, therefore the x-intercept is (12,0)
