Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.y = -3.2 + 12

Answer 1

we have

y=-3x+12

step 1

Find the y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

so

For x=0

substitute

y=-3(0)+12

y=12

so

y-intercept is (0,12)

step 2

Find the x-intercept (value of x when the value of y is equal to zero)

For y=0

substitute

0=-3x+12

3x=12

x=4

so

x-intercept is (4,0)
