Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts for `4x - 1/3y = -2`?

Answer 1

`"x-intercept "=-1/2," y-intercept "=6`

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"`

`x=0rArr-1/3y=-2rArry=6larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"`

`y=0rArr4x=-2rArrx=-1/2larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"`
