Q. 4.) Find the intercepts of each equation and greph 2x+3y=−12
Find x-intercept: Find the x-intercept.To find the x-intercept, set y to 0 and solve for x.2x+3(0)=−122x=−12x=−12/2x=−6The x-intercept is at (−6,0).
Find y-intercept: Find the y-intercept.To find the y-intercept, set x to 0 and solve for y.2(0)+3y=−123y=−12y=−12/3y=−4The y-intercept is at (0,−4).
Graph intercepts and line: Graph the intercepts and the line.Plot the x-intercept (−6,0) and the y-intercept (0,−4) on a coordinate plane. Draw a line through these two points to represent the equation 2x+3y=−12.
