Find the x- and y-intercepts of 4x + 3y = -12 and use them to graph the equation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:
4x + 3(0) = -12
4x = -12
x = -3
Therefore, the x-intercept is (-3, 0).
To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:
4(0) + 3y = -12
3y = -12
y = -4
Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -4).
Plot these points on a coordinate plane and connect them with a line to graph the equation.
