What are the x and y intercepts of the graph of 4x-3y=-36

Solve 4x+3y+36 = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula:

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i. e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i. e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line 4x+3y+36 = 0 and calculate its properties
