What are the coordinates of the x and y intercepts of the equation 3x+2y=12

1 answer:

4 0

To find the x-intercept you must make y=0

3x+2y=12 - substitute 0 for y
3x+2(0)=12 - multiply 2 and 0
3x+0=12 - add zero
3x=12 - divide by 3
x=4

To find the y-intercept you must make x=0

3x+2y=12 - substitute 0 for x
3(0)+2y=12 - multiply 3 and 0
0+2y=12 - add 0 and 2y
2y=12 - divide by 2
y=6

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

44 pi centimeters cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, base radius and height of cone are equal to to that of cylinder. Hence,

$Volume \: of \: cone \\ = \frac{1}{3} \times Volume \: of \: cylinder \\ = \frac{1}{3} \times132\pi \\ = 44\pi \: {cm}^{3}$
