Question

Find the x- and y-intercept x + 4y = 36

Answer 1

x= 36 and y= 9

Explanation:

because I said so. jk math

Answer 2

x-intercept: 36

y-intercept: 9

Explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

• The x-intercept occurs when y=0
• The y-intercept occurs when x=0

1) Determine the x-intercept

`x + 4y = 36`

Plug in 0 for y

`x + 4(0) = 36\\x=36`

Therefore, the x-intercept is 36.

2) Determine the y-intercept

`x + 4y = 36`

Plug in 0 for x

`0 + 4y = 36\\4y = 36`

Divide both sides by 4

`y=9`

Therefore, the y-intercept is 9.

I hope this helps!
