Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 3x + 2y 12. State your answers as

Answer 1

Answer:

x intercept: 4

y intercept: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 12

to find the x and y intercept, you replace the other value with zero.

for example, to find the x intercept, you replace the y value with 0.

3x + 2(0) = 12

3x + 0 = 12

3x = 12

so, your x intercept is 4

Do the same for your y intercept

3(0) + 2y = 12

0 + 2y = 12

2y = 12

y = 6
