Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `y= 3x-4`?

Answer 1

`x` intercept: `(4/3,0)`

`y` intercept: `(0,-4)`

Explanation:

The `x` intercept is the point of the line for which `y=0`, so

`0=3x-4 -> 3x=4 -> x=4/3`

The `y` intercept is the point of the line for which `x=0`, so

`y=3*0-4 = -4`
