You can
put this solution on YOUR website! Could I get some help with graphing this equation: 4x - 3y = 12?
Thank You
1. Find the x-coordinate of the x-intercept by substituting 0 for y and
solving for x. The y-coordinate of the x-intercept is 0.
4x - 3y = 12
4x + 3(0) = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
So the x-intercept is (3,0)
2. Find the y-coordinate of the y-intercept by substituting 0 for x and
solving for y. The x-coordinate of the y-intercept is 0.
4x - 3y = 12
4(0) - 3y = 12
-3y = 12
y = -4
So the x-intercept is (0,-4)
3. Plot these two points: (3,0) is on the x-axis 3 units right of the
origin and (0,-4) is on the y-axis 4 units below the origin.
Then draw a line through those two points:
