y=3x+4
The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis.
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
.
To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
0=3x+4
-4=3x
-4/3=x
so, (-4/3, 0) is the x-intercept
.
To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
y=3(0)+4
y=4,
so (0, 4) is the y-intercept
.
Graphing, look at where the line intercepts the x and the y axis. This will be the x and y intercept.
