Question

Find the x and y intercept of 3x+6y+24

Answer 1

x = -8

y = -4

x-intercept:

( − 8 , 0 )

y-intercept:

( 0 , − 4 )

Answer 2

x intercept is

x = 8

and y intercept is

y = 4

Explanation:

Putting x =0 in the equation we get y-intercept as 3⋅0+6y=24 or

y=4 y so, the y intercept is y=4

Similarly putting

y=0 in the equation we get x-intercept as 3x+6⋅0=24 or x=8 so, the x intercept is x=8
