What are the intercepts of the equation? Graph the equation.
-3x + 4y = -12
A. x-intercept: (4, 0)
y-intercept: (0, –3)
B. x-intercept: (–3, 0)
y-intercept: (0, 4)
C. x-intercept: (4, 0)
y-intercept: (0, –3)
D. x-intercept: (–3, 0)
y-intercept: (0, 4)
I think its c
To get the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x:
-3x + 4y = -12
-3x + 4(0) = -12
-3x = -12
x = 4
Thus x-intercept is at (4,0)
To get the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y:
-3x + 4y = -12
-3(0) + 4y = -12
4y = -12
y = -3
Thus y-intercept is at (0,-3)
hope this helps~ `u`
it’s D
To find the intercepts of an equation, substitute zero for the other variable and solve for the remaining variable.
For the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into the equation:
-3x + 4(0) = -12
-3x = -12
x = -12 / -3
x = 4
So the x-intercept is (4, 0).
For the y-intercept, substitute x = 0 into the equation:
-3(0) + 4y = -12
4y = -12
y = -12 / 4
y = -3
So the y-intercept is (0, -3).
Therefore, the correct answer is C. x-intercept: (4, 0) and y-intercept: (0, -3).
