Please help with this question;
Determine the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph x/3 + y/4 = 2. the answer that i got is x= -6 ; y= 8.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer x = -6; y = 8, which you got, was incorrect.
The correct answer is (x,y) = (6,0) for x-intercept and (x,y) = (0,8) for y-intercept.
To get x-intercept, you should take y=0 in the given equation, and then find the value of x from it.
To get y-intercept, you should take x=0 in the given equation, and then find the value of y from it.
Solved, with explanations.
