Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.

Answer 1

$y = -3x +12\\\\\text{Plug x = 0 to find y - intercept,}\\\\y = -3(0) +12 = 12\\\\\text{So, y-intercept is (0,12).}\\\\\text{Plug y=0 to find x - intercept,}\\\\0 = -3x +12\\\\\implies -3x = -12\\\\\implies 3x = 12\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{12}{3} = 4 \\\\\\\text{So, x - intercept is (4,0).}$
