Question

Find the x and y intercepts of the graph of the equation 1. 3x-4y=24 2. -6x+3y=12

Answer 1

Explanation:

Recall the intercept form of the line

x/a + y/b = 1

has intercepts at (1,0) and (0,b)

#1. Divide by 24 to get x/8 + y/-6 = 1

The intercepts are at (8,0) and (0,-6)

#2 Divide by 12

x/-2 + y/4 = 1
