Question

1. Solve for the x and y intercepts:

3x + 4y = 12


a. (0, -3) and (4, 0)


b. (4, 0) and (3, 0)


c. (0, 4) and (0, 3)


d. (4, 0) and (0, 3)

2. Solve for the x and y intercepts:

5x - 6y = 60


a. (12, 0) and (10, 0)


b. (12, 0) and (0, -10)


c. (-12, 0) and (0, -10)


d. (12, 0) and (-10, 0)

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, you simply make y equal to 0 and solve the equation for x. To find the y-intercept, you make x equal to 0 and solve for y. So, for number 1, the answer is D because when you set it to y equals 0, you get x=3 and when you set it to x equals 0, you get 4.
Number 2 we would do the same thing and get D as well.
Hope this helps!
