Question

Find X- and y- intercepts of the graph of each equation.

Answer 1

1.) -4 and 12

y-intercept: -4

x-intercept: 12

2.) -11 and 11

y-intercept: -11

x-intercept: 11

Explanation:

x - 3y = 12

0 - 3y = 12

-3y/-3 = 12/-3

y = -4 (y-intercept)

x - 3y = 12

x -3(0) = 12

x = 12 (x-intercept)

2x - 2y = 22

2(0) - 2y = 22

-2y = 22

-2y/-2 = 22/-2

y = -11 (y-intercept)

2x - 2y = 22

2x - 2(0) = 22

2x = 22

2x/2 = 22/2

x = 11 (x-intercept)

Answer 2

1.) x-intercept = 12
y-intercept = -4

2.) x-intercept = -11
y-intercept = 11
