How do you find the x and y intercepts for #3x -4y =12#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts by Substitution 1 Answer CrispyRounds Aug 8, 2018 #x#-intercept is #(4,0)# #y#-intercept is #(0,-3)# Explanation: To find #x# intercepts, make #y=0# since we know #x# intercepts always have #0# for the #y# value of the coordinate #3x-4(0)=12# #x=4# So the #x#-intercept is #(4,0)# To find #y# intercepts, make #x=0# since we know #y# intercepts always have #0# for the #x# value of the coordinate #3(0)-4y=12# #y=-3# So the #y#-intercept is #(0,-3)# Answer link Related questions What is the x and y Intercepts?
