Part 1 of 2
Describe and correct the error a student
made finding the intercepts of the graph
of the line 4x-6y = 12.
1.4(0)-6y = 12
2. 6y=12, so y = 2; the y-intercept is 2.
3.4x-6(0) = 12
4.4x = 12, so x = 3; the x-intercept is 3.
X
UA. In solving for the x-intercept, the student's calculation of x is incorrect. The error occurs in
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
OB In solving for the v-intercent the student substituted 0 for x The student should have suhe
