Find the x and y-intercept of the line -6x+12y=24

AleksAgata [21]

$-6x+12y=24\\\\x-intercept\ for\ y=0:\\\\-6x+12(0)=24\\-6x=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-6)}\\\boxed{x=-4}\to(-4,\ 0)\\\\y-intercept\ for\ x=0:\\\\-6(0)+12y=24\\12y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\boxed{y=2}\to(0;\ 2)$
