Answer:
x- intercept = – 8, y- intercept = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x
– 3x + 4(0) = 24
– 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by – 3 )
x = – 8 ← x- intercept
To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y
– 3(0) + 4y = 24
4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 6 ← y- intercept
