1. To find the x-intercept, replace y in the equation with 0, then solve for x.
... To find the y-intercept, replace x in the equation with 0, then solve for y.
If the equation is easily put into the form
... x/a + y/b = 1
Then the x-intercept is "a" and the y-intercept is "b".
2. Let's graph 3x+4y = -12.
If we divide the equation by -12, we can put it into the form
.. x/(-4) + y/(-3) = 1
This equation has x-intercept -4 and y-intercept -3.
(If you know the intercepts, you can simply draw the line through them to graph your linear equation.)
