Question 1079958: Can you please help me solve the following:
Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line represented by the equation below. Plot both intercepts on a coordinate system and draw the line through them. 3x - 4y = 12

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When the coefficients divide evenly into the constant on the right, this is an easy way to graph.
Let x=0
Then -4y=12 and y=-3. You put a point at (0, -3)
Let y=0
Then 3x=12, and x=4. You put a point at (4, 0) and draw a line between them.
