See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation: 4x + 3y = -12

To plot the graph using the intercept, we need to find the y and x intercept

To get the y intercept, we replace x with 0

4(0) + 3y = -12

0 + 3y = -12

3y = -12

divide both sides by 3:

3y/3 = -12/3

y = -4

To get the x intercept, we will replace y with 0

4x + 3(0) = -12

4x + 0 = -12

4x = -12

divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = -12/4

x = -3

Plotting the x and y intercept on the graph:
