Question

Give the x and y intercepts. Give them as ordered pairs. 3x + 2y =24 ( , )
( , )

Answer 1

xint is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
yint is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0

set the other one to 0 to solve for that one

xint
set y=0 and solve
3x+0=24
3x=24
x=8
(8,0) is xint

ying,
set x=0 and solve
0+2y=24
2y=24
y=12
(0,12) is yint


xint: (8,0)
yint: (0,12)
