For x = 0, we have 4y = 12, which implies y = 3

For y = 0, we have 5x = 12, which implies x = 2.4

Since y-intercept is not an integer, we can find another point with integer coordinates by rearranging it in the standard form:

y = -5x/4 + 3

For x = 4, we have y = -2

Then, to graph the equation, we just need to draw a line passing through the points (0,3) and (4,-2)
