Find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation. Then graph the equation.
-$$2 x - 4 y = 12$$

A) $( 0 , - 3 ) , ( 6,0 )$ 
B) $( 0 , - 3 ) , ( - 6,0 )$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, we set $y$ to 0 and solve for $x$:

$2x - 4(0) = 12$
$2x = 12$
$x = 6$

So the x-intercept is $(6, 0)$.

To find the y-intercept, we set $x$ to 0 and solve for $y$:

$2(0) - 4y = 12$
$-4y = 12$
$y = -3$

So the y-intercept is $(0, -3)$.

Therefore, the correct answer is A: $(0, -3), (6, 0)$.
