Answer: The Y-intercept of this equation is (0,-6) and the X-intercept is (8,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x and y intercept of the equation, we first need to convert it to y=mx+b format.

To do so, we isolate the y.

3x - 4y = 24
- 3x -3x
Move the x to the other side of the equal sign.

- 4y = -3x + 24

Divide all by -4

y = 3/4x - 6
Now that we have the proper format, we can graph (I suggest using desmos graphing calculator)

The number appearing on the vertical center line is the y-intercept (0,-6)

The number appearing on the horizontal line is the x-intercept (8,0).
