What are the intercepts of 6x + 8y = 24?

A. (4, 0) and (0, 1)

B. (12, 0) and (0, 1)

C. (3, 0) and (0, 4)

D. (4, 0) and (0, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

D. (4,0) (0,3)

Answer 2

Solve for X when Y is 0 and solve for Y when x is 0.

When Y is 0:

6x +8(0) = 24

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4

So (4,0) is an answer.

When X is 0:

6(0) + 8y = 24

8y  = 24

y = 24/8

y = 3

So (0,3) is an answer.

The answer is D. (4,0) and (0,3)
