x = -4/3 x=−43
y = -1/2 y=−12
Explanation:
When the line crosses the x-axis the y-coordinate at this point will be zero. By letting y = 0 we get the x-coordinate.
y= 0: -3x = 4
rArr x = -4/3 ⇒x=−43 Similarly when the line crosses the y-axis the x-coordinate at this point will be zero. By letting x = 0 we get the y-coordinate.
x = 0 : -8y = 4
rArr y = -1/2⇒y=−12
