Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 6x - 4y = -12?

x-int: -2, y-int: 3
x-int: 2, y-int: -3
x-int: 3. y-int: -2
x-int: -3. y-int: 2

Answer 1

$\text{To find the x intercept, plug in 0 to the y value and solve:}\\\\6x - 4(0) = -12\\\\6x=-12\\\\x=-2\\\\\text{To find the y intercept, plug in 0 to the x value and solve:}\\\\6(0) -4y=-12\\\\-4y=-12\\\\y=3\\\\\boxed{\text{Answer: x-int: -2, y-int: 3}}$
