Question 201871
Name the x and y intercept for 4x-6y = -24


When you want the "y" intercept, solve for "y" by making the "x" = 0

When you want the "x" intercept, solve for "x" by making the "y" = 0.


Let's solve for the y intercept first:


4x - 6y = -24          (original equation)
4(0) - 6y = -24        (solve for "y" by making "x" =0)
0    - 6y = -24        (divide both sides by -6)
        y =  4



Therefore, your "y" intercept is:  (0, 4)


Now for the x intercept:


4x - 6y = -24          (original equation)
4x - 6(0) = -24        (solve for "x" by making "y" = 0)
4x        = -24        (divide both sides by 4)
 x        = -6

Therefore, your "x" intercept is:  (-6, 0)

Hope this helped you. :-)
