Answer:

x intercept is (4,0)

The y intercept is (0,12).

Explanation:

Graph the x intercept (4,0) and the y intercept (0,12) and connect them with a line.

_______________________________________________________

(Equation) 3x + y = 12

To find the x intercept, set y = 0.

3x + 0 = 12

3 • 3 = 123

x = 4

The x intercept is (4,0).

To find the y intercept, set x = 0.

3(0) + y = 12

0 + y = 12

y = 12

The y intercept is (0,12).

To graph this line using the intercepts, first graph the two points (4,0) and (0,12). Then connect the two points with a line.
