Answer:

x intercept = 8

y intercept = -24

Explanation:

In the USA, the shoe sizes or men are approximated by the equation 3f-s=24, where f represents the length of the foot in inches and s represents the shoe size.

When we represent this equation using a graph, we mark the independent variable on the x axis and the dependent variable on the y axis.

Here the foot length is the independent variable and the shoe size is the dependent variable. Hence we take foot length on x axis.

To get x intercept put y=0, f =
(24)/(3) = 8 inches .

This is the point from which where we start our shoe size.

The y intercept , s = -24.
