x and y intercepts of $3 x + 4 y = 12$ $3x+4y=12$ is 4 and 3

Explanation:

subtitute $y = 0$ $y=0$ to find x intercepts

when $y = 0$ $y=0$

$3 x = 12$ $3x=12$
$x = 4$ $x=4$

x intercepts is 4

subtitute $x = 0$ $x=0$ to find y intercepts

when $x = 0$ $x=0$

$4 y = 12$ $4y=12$
$y = 3$ $y=3$

y intercepts is 3

Answer 2 · 2016-09-26T10:29:58

x-intercept: $4$ $4$
y-intercept: $3$ $3$

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$ (noting that $y = 0$ $y=0$ is the definition of the X-axis.
$XXX 3 x + 3 y = 12$ $color(white)("XXX")3x+3color(red)(y)=12$ when $y = 0$ $color(red)(y)=color(red)(0)$

$XXX 3 x + 4 \cdot 0 = 12$ $color(white)("XXX")3x +4 * color(red)(0)=12$

$XXX x = 4$ $color(white)("XXX")x=4$

Similarly, the y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$ (definition of the Y-axis).
$XXX 3 x + 4 y = 12$ $color(white)("XXX")3color(blue)(x)+4y=12$ when $x = 0$ $color(blue)(x)=color(blue)(0)$

$XXX 3 \cdot 0 + 4 y = 12$ $color(white)("XXX")3 * color(blue)(0) +4y=12$

$XXX y = 3$ $color(white)("XXX")y=3$
