4x+y=8x=3y-15
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x.
4x+(0)=8x=3(0)-15
Remove the parentheses around the expression 0.
4x+0=
Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.
4x=
Divide each term in the equation by 4.
(4x)/(4)=()/(4)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=()/(4)
To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
4(0)+y=8(0)=3y-15
Multiply 4 by each term inside the parentheses.
0+y=
Solve the equation.
y=
These are the x and y intercepts of the equation 4x+y=8x=3y-15.
x=()/(4), y=
