Question

3x+4y= -24 Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3/4 - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = -24

get Y to be by itself so subtract 3x on both sides

4y=-3x-24

divide by 4 on both sides

y = -3/4x -24/4

-24/4=-6

y = -3/4 - 6

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept:  let y = 0 and find x.  Then 3x = -24, and x = -8.  The x-intercept is (-8, 0).

y-intercept:  Let x = 0 and find y.  4y = -24 yields y = -6.  The y-intercept is (0, -6).
