Question 50039: PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I need to find out the intercepts for x and y. i need the cordinants for them. for example, the integers of x is (#,0) and the integers of y is (0,#). well my problem to find out is what is the integers of 4x-y=3? please help me all you can, i really need to pass this class and i just dont get it.

The intercepts are the points where the line crosses each axis. There are two intercepts for a staight line:
.
The x-intercept is where the line crosses or intercepts the x-axis.
The value for y will always be zero and the value of x will vary.
To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x.
4x-y=3
4x-(0)=3
x=3/4
x-intercept = (3/4, 0)
.
The y-intercpet is where the line crosses the y-axis. The value of x will always be zero and the value of y will vary.
To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y.
4x-y=3
4(0)-y=3
-y=3
y=-3
y=intercept = (0, -3)
.
To graph, put the equation into the slope-intercept form by solving for y:
4x-y=3
y=4x-3
