Question 81185
First, recognize that this is the equation of a line. The x-intercept is defined as the point on the line where y=0. So, set y to zero in the equation, solve for x, and you are done:
{{{4x+12=3y}}}
{{{4x+12=0}}}
{{{4x=-12}}}
{{{highlight(x=-3)}}}
The y-intercept is defined as the point on the line where x=0. To find this point, set x to zero in the equation, solve for y, and you are done:
{{{4x+12=3y}}}
{{{12=3y}}}
{{{highlight(y=4)}}}
