Question

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of y=−12x+4 ? Drag and drop your answers into the boxes. x-intercept: y-intercept:

Answer 1

Answer:

y intercept = 4

x intercept = 1/3

x - intercept

To find the x intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x.

0 = -12x + 4

0 = -12 (1/3) + 4

0 = -4 + 4

0 = 0

The x - intercept is 1/3

y - intercept

To find the y intercept, substitute 0 for x and solve for y.

y = -12 (0) + 4

y = 0 + 4

y = 4

The y - intercept is 4.
