Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line described
by this equation? 4???? − 3???? = 12.3

Answer 1

Answer: (3.075, 0) and (0, -4.1)

Explanation:

4x - 3y = 12.3

x-intercept: 4x - 3(0) = 12.3 ⇒ 4x = 12.3 ⇒ x = 3.075

(3.075, 0)

y-intercept: 4(0) - 3y = 12.3 ⇒ -3y = 12.3 ⇒ y = -4.1

(0, -4.1)
