Question 730658
.
Please help with this question;
Determine the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph x/3 + y/4 = 2. the answer that i got is x= -6 ; y= 8.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



        The answer   x = -6; y = 8,    which you got,  was incorrect.


        The correct answer is  (x,y) = (6,0)  for x-intercept  and  (x,y) = (0,8)  for y-intercept.



<pre>
To get x-intercept, you should take y=0 in the given equation, and then find the value of x from it.


To get y-intercept, you should take x=0 in the given equation, and then find the value of y from it.
