Answer:X=3

y= -4

Explanation:

If we're solving for x or y, then the intercept we're not solving for is equal to zero. Solving for y means x=0, solving for x means y=0.

so solving for x, 4x=12--> x=3, since y=0 in this scenario.

Solving for y, x=0, so -3y=12--> y=(-4)

Answer:

see below for a table

Explanation:

You can easily identify intercept points by solving for one variable when the other is zero.

x-intercept (y=0)

4x = 12

x = 12/4 = 3

y-intercept (x=0)

-3y = 12

y = 12/-3 = -4

So, the coordinate pairs of these points are ...

(3, 0) and (0, -4)

__

If you solve for y, you get ...

-3y = 12 -4x

y = (4/3)x -4 . . . . . divide by -3

This suggests that x being a multiple of 3 will be useful for finding integer values of y.

We already have points for x=0 and x=3. We can add points for x=6 and x=-3.

y = 4/3(6) -4 = 4

y = 4/3(-3) -4 = -8

So, the additional points are ...

(6, 4) and (-3, -8)
