Question

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of y=−12x+4

A. -2
B. 2
C. 4
D.-4
E. 8
F. -8

Answer 1

the x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0


xintercept
set y=0 and solve for x
0=-12x+4
add 12x both sides
12x=4
divide by 12
x=1/3
the x intercept is 1/3
not listed so I assume it is y=-1/2x+4, which yeilds x=-2


x intercept
using y=-1/2x+4
set x=0
y=-1/2(0)+4
y=0+4
y=4
y intercept is 4


assumign you forgot the slash to make the fraction to make
y=-1/2x+4

x intercept is -2
y intercept is 4


A and C are the answers
