Answer: X intercept is 4, Y intercept is 3

Explanation:

When you have an intercept on X or Y in a problem like this, you just have to make either X or Y equal to 0, this is because the X intercept is the point where Y = 0, which for this equation is 4.

To find X intercept, make Y = 0

6x + 8(0) = 24

6x = 24

x = 4

To find Y intercept, make X = 0

6(0) + 8y = 24

8y = 24

y = 3

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
