Question

What isbthebx- intercept of the line with the equation 4x+2y=12

Answer 1

If you are looking for an x-intercept, remember that the x-intercept exists where y is 0. So replace y with 0 and solve it for x. 4x +2(0) = 12, and 4x = 12, so x = 3. The x-intercept, written in coordinate form, is (3, 0).
