Question

Use intercepts to graph the linear equation −12x+y=−4.

Answer 1

x-intercept=-1/3

y-intercept=-4

Explanation:

Find the x-intercept by setting y to zero:

-12x+0=4

-12x=4

x= 4/(-12)

x= -1/3

Find the y-intercept by setting x to 0

-12(0) + y=-4

y=-4

Draw a line through the intercepts
