Answer:

I don't know if this is correct check for videos online to see if this is the right way to solve for the problem

Explanation:

Given the equation is: 6x + 4y = 24 ...(1) To find the y-intercept, at which point the line cuts the Y-axis, we needRewrite in slope-intercept form.

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Tap for more steps...

Slope:

To find the x-intercept, substitute in

0 for y and solve for x

. To find the y-intercept, substitute in

0 for x and solve for y

.x-intercept(s):

(−8,0)

y-intercept(s):

(0,−12)

Answer:

x-Intercept

6x + 4*0 = - 48

6x = - 48

x = -8 --> (-8 ; 0)

y-Intercept

6*0 + 4y = - 48

4y = - 48

y = - 12 --> (0 ; -12)
