Question

Determine the intercepts of the line. 4x-1=3y+5

Answer 1

Calculate the intercepts bu replacing x or y with 0 and solving for the other.

4x - 1 = 3y + 5
If x = 0,
4(0) - 1 = 3y + 5
-1 = 3y + 5
-6 = 3y
y = -2

If y = 0
4x - 1 = 3(0) + 5
4x - 1 = 5
4x = 6
x = 6/4 or 3/2

x int: (3/2,0)
y int: (0,-2)
