See explanation.

Explanation:

To find $X$ $X$ intercept, substitute $0$ $0$ for $y$ $y$ in the function formula and calculate $x$ $x$ :

$3 \cdot x + 4 \cdot 0 = 2$ $3x+40=2$

$3 x = 2$ $3x=2$

$x = \frac{2}{3}$ $x=2/3$

**The $X$ $X$ intercept is $(\frac{2}{3}; 0)$ $(2/3;0)$ **

To find $Y$ $Y$ intercept, substitute $0$ $0$ for $x$ $x$ in the function formula and calculate $y$ $y$ :

$3 \cdot 0 + 4 \cdot y = 2$ $30+4y=2$

$4 y = 2$ $4y=2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}$ $y=1/2$

The $Y$ $Y$ intercept is $(0; \frac{1}{2})$ $(0;1/2)$

How do you find the x and y intercepts for $3 y + 4 x = 2$ $3y+4x=2$ ?

1 Answer

Explanation:

$3 \cdot x + 4 \cdot 0 = 2$ $3x+40=2$

$3 x = 2$ $3x=2$

$x = \frac{2}{3}$ $x=2/3$

$3 \cdot 0 + 4 \cdot y = 2$ $30+4y=2$

$4 y = 2$ $4y=2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}$ $y=1/2$

How do you find the x and y intercepts for 3y+4x=23y+4x=23y+4x=2?

1 Answer

Explanation:

3*x+4*0=23⋅x+4⋅0=23*x+4*0=2

3x=23x=23x=2

x=2/3x=23x=2/3

3*0+4*y=23⋅0+4⋅y=23*0+4*y=2

4y=24y=24y=2

y=1/2y=12y=1/2
