Answer:

Y INT: (0, 4)

X INT: (-3, 0)

Explanation:

The first thing you'd want to do is convert this equation into slope-intercept form. Do this by moving 4x to the other side, to get -3y = -4x - 12.

You can then divide both sides by -3 to get the following equation:

y = 4/3x + 4

You can then find the X-intercept by setting Y to 0 to get:

0 = 4/3x + 4

Move 4 to the other side.

-4 = 4/3x

Multiply both sides by 3.

-12 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4.

X = -3
