The intercept can be found when all other variables are equated to zero.
x-intercept when y = 0 and z = 0: 8x + 6*0 + 3*0 = 24 gives x = 3
y-intercept when x = 0 and z = 0: 8*0 + 6y + 3*0 = 24 gives y = 4
z-intercept when x = 0 and y = 0: 8*0 + 6*0 + 3z = 24 gives z = 8
The intercepts are (3, 0, 0), (0, 4, 0), and (0, 0, 8).
For
to be conservative, we need to have



Integrate the first PDE with respect to
:

Differentiate with respect to
:

Now differentiate
with respect to
:

So we have

so
is indeed conservative.
