x-intercept
y-intercept
Explanation:
This is a linear equation. That is, the equation of a straight line.
When this line crosses the x-axis- the x-intercept, the corresponding y-coordinate at this point will be zero. Substitute y = 0 into the equation to obtain x-intercept.
⇒y=0 gives 0+2x=3⇒x=32 Similarly, when the line crosses the y-axis- the y-intercept, the corresponding x-coordinate will be zero. Substitute x = o into equation to obtain y-intercept.
⇒−4y+0=3⇒y=3−4=−34
