Question 1103703
<pre>
So we draw the graph of 4x+6y = 240

If we let x be 0 then we can just put our finger over the x term,
so that all we see is:
                           6y = 240
                            y = 40

So the y intercept is (0,40).

And we plot it and label it, like this:

{{{drawing(385.923,83600/309,-5,67.9,-5,45.9,
locate(1,42,"(0,40)"),
circle(0,40,.6),graph(385.923,83600/309,-5,67.9,-5,45.9), circle(0,40,1) )}}}


                        4x+6y = 240
If we let y be 0 then we can just put our finger over the y term,
so that all we see is:
                        4x    = 240
                            x = 60

So the x intercept is (60,0).

And we plot it and label it like this:

{{{drawing(385.923,83600/309,-5,67.9,-5,45.9,
locate(1,42,"(0,40)"), locate(59,4,"(60,0)"),
circle(60,0,.6),circle(60,0,1),circle(60,0,.7),
circle(0,40,.6),graph(385.923,83600/309,-5,67.9,-5,45.9), circle(0,40,1) )}}}

Then we get a ruler and draw a line connecting them:

{{{drawing(385.923,83600/309,-5,67.9,-5,45.9,
locate(1,42,"(0,40)"), locate(59,4,"(60,0)"),

line(0,40,60,0),
circle(60,0,.6),circle(60,0,1),circle(60,0,.7),
circle(0,40,.6),graph(385.923,83600/309,-5,67.9,-5,45.9), circle(0,40,1) )}}}

The x-intercept is when x, the number of movie rentals is 0, which
is when there are no game rentals at all, and the $240 is made by
renting only movies.
 
The y-intercept is when y, the number of game rentals is 0, which
is when there are no movie rentals at all, and the $240 is made by
renting only games.
