Please help me solve this equation:
Find the y-intercept and x-intercept for the equation
4x+6y=96
Type an ordered pair


In order to find the x-intercept, you must make y=0. Plug that into your equation and solve:
4x%2B6%280%29=96


Multiply:
4x=96


Divide both sides by 4:
x=24


So, your x-intercept is 24.


To find the y-intercept, you do the opposite. You must make x=0:
4%280%29%2B6y=96


Multiply:
6y=96


Divide both sides by 6:
y=16


So, your y-intercept is 16.


As for coordinates, just use the coordinates of the intercepts. They are (24,0) and (0,16).
