Question

P and Q are points on the line 3y - 4x = 12

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coordinates of P are (0, 1), this makes P the y-intercept of that line. The y-intercept exists where x = 0. And in the coordinate (0, 1), x does in fact equal 0.

Since the one coordinate given in Q is (?, 0), this means that Q is the x-intercept of the line. The x-intercept exists where y = 0. And in the coordinate (?, 0), y does in fact equal 0. So in order to solve for the x coordinate of Q, we plug in a 0 for y and solve for x:

3(0) - 4x = 12 and

-4x = 12 so

x = -3
