Question

Which of the following would be the correct x-intercept of 6x + 12y = 24 written as a coordinate? (2, 0) (0, 4) (0, 2) (4, 0)

Answer 1

6x + 12y = 24

Substitute "0" for "y" to find x .

6x+12(0)=24

6x=24

Now divide 6 both sides to get x alone.

X= 24/6

X= 4

So since we substitute 0 for y.

Answer is (4,0) for x-intercept
