Answer:

x- intercept = - 8 , y- intercept = 6

Explanation:

to find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

3x - 4(0) = - 24

3x = - 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 8 ← x- intercept

to find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

3(0) - 4y = - 24

- 4y = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

y = 6 ← y- intercept
