Find the x- and y-intercept of the line. -4x +2y = 24

A. x -intercept is -6; y-intercept is 12
B. x -intercept is 12; y-intercept is -6
C. x -intercept is -4; y-intercept is 2
D. x -intercept is 2; y-intercept is -4

Respuesta :

-4x + 2y = 24

X-Intercept: -4x + 2y = 24
                 -4x + 2(0) = 24
                      -4x + 0 = 24
                            -4x = 24
                             -4     -4
                               x = -6

Y-Intercept: -4x + 2y = 24
                 -4(0) + 2y = 24
                       0 + 2y = 24
                             2y = 24
                              2      2
                               y = 12

The answer is A.
