What are the intercepts of 3x-8y=4?

2 Answers

3/4 is the x-intercept, and -2 is the y-intercept

Explanation:

To obtain the intercepts, divide the entire equation by the constant (-4 here). We get 3/4x-8/4y=1. The coefficient of x is the x-intercept and the coefficient of y is the y-intercept.

"x-intercept "=4/3" and y-intercept "=-1/2

Explanation:

"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"
"the x and y axes"

• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"

• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"
