Answer:

slope = 3/4

x intercept = 4

y intercept = -3



Explanation:

3x-4y =12

solve for y to get the equation in slope intercept form

subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x-4y = -3x+12

-4y = -3x +12

divide each side by -4

-4y/-4 = -3x/-4 + 12/-4

y = 3/4 x -3

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m = 3/4

b = -3

to find the x intercept set y=0 and solve for x

3x-4y =12

3x - 4*0 =12

3x=12

divide by 2

x =4
