Answer 2

Answer:

x-intercept: 36

y-intercept: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

• The x-intercept occurs when y=0
• The y-intercept occurs when x=0

1) Determine the x-intercept

$x + 4y = 36$

Plug in 0 for y

$x + 4(0) = 36\\x=36$

Therefore, the x-intercept is 36.

2) Determine the y-intercept

$x + 4y = 36$

Plug in 0 for x

$0 + 4y = 36\\4y = 36$

Divide both sides by 4

$y=9$

Therefore, the y-intercept is 9.

I hope this helps!
