What are the x - and y-intercepts of the graph of the equation?

4x-3y=12

A. x-intercept: - 4

y-intercept: - 3

B. x-intercept: 3

y-intercept: 4

C. x-intercept: - 4

y-intercept: 3

D. x-intercept: 3

y-intercept: - 4

To solve, let each variable equal 0 one equation at a time

First, solve for x (y will equal 0)

4x - 3y = 12

4x - 3 (0) = 12

4x = 12

x = 3

Solve for Y (x will equal 0)

4x - 3y = 12

-3y = 12

y = - 4

D (3, - 4)

4x - 3y = 12

the y intercept occurs when x = 0, so

4 (0) - 3y = 12

-3y = 12

y = - 4 Answer y intercept is at (0, - 4)

x - intercept is when y = 0, so

4x - 3 (0) = 12

4x = 12

x = 3 answer : - x intercept is at (3, 0)

Its choice D
