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

Is it possible to make a quadrilateral with any four dots as corners?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Yes it is possible, given with 4 dots, lets say were set anywhere within a page or anywhere upon a circumference of a circle even. We can draw 4 straight lines to meet each corner and call this a quadrilateral.

Step-by-step explanation:

Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are all Parallelograms and squares and rectangles are regular quadrilaterals!

So any other 4 sided shape that is quadrilateral could be made.
