Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 3x + 2y = 12. State your answers as

whole numbers or as improper fractions in simplest form.
x-intercept:
y-intercept:

Answer 1

5y

4x

Explanation:

Answer 2

X intercept: 4

Y-intercept: 6

Explanation:

To find the intercept of either x or y, you make the other letter equal to 0. So, to find the x-intercept, you would make y 0 and solve from there by dividing 12 by 3 leaving 4. Then you would do the same with making x equal to zero: 12/2= 6
