Question

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

Answer 1

We're given the line in slope-intercept form so see the y-intercept is `3` and setting `y=0` we solve for the x-intercept of `4`.

Explanation:

For the y-intercept we substitute `x=0` and get `y=3` or we can just read off `3` from the equation given in slope-intercept form.

For the x-intercept we substitute `y=0` and solve for `x`.

`0 = -3/4 x + 3`

`3/4 x = 3`

`x = 4` is the x intercept.
