Question

3x-4y=-24
Identify the x- and y-intercept of the graph of each question

Answer 1

x = -8 and y = 6

Explanation:

3x - 4y = -24

Solve for y - intercept

3x - 4y = -24

To find y intercept , substitute x = 0

3 × 0 - 4y = -24

Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0.

0 - 4y = -24

-4y = -24

Divide both sides by -4

-4y / -4 = -24/-4

y = 6

Similarly, Solve for x-intercept

3x - 4y = -24

To find x- intercept , susbtitute y = 0

3x - 4 × 0 = -24

Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0.

3x - 0 = -24

3x = -24

Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = -24 / 3

x = -8

Therefore, y = 6 and x = -8
