Question

Identify the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line 4x-2y=-12

Answer 1

To find x-intercept, put the Y value = 0;

4x - 2y = -12

-> 4x -2.0 = -12
-> 4x = -12
-> x = -12/4
-> x = -3

X-intercept: (-3,0)

Now do the reverse to find the y-intercept, X = 0;

4x - 2y = -12

-> 4.0 - 2y = -12
-> -2y = -12 x(-1)
-> 2y = 12
-> y = 12/2
-> y = 6

Y-intercept: (0, 6)
