Question

Find the x.intercept and the y.intercept of the graph of each quation. Then graph the equation

3x-2y= - 12

Answer 1

x intercept is where the graph hits the x axis or where y=0
y intercept is where the graph hits the y axis or where x=0


3x-2y=-12

x intercept
set y=0
3x-0=-12
3x=-12
divide by 3
x=-4
x intercept is at x=-4 or (-4,0)



y intercept
x=0
0-2y=-12
-2y=-12
divide -2
y=6
y intercept is y=6 or (0,6)




xintercept: (-4,0)
yintercept: (0,6)
