find the y-intercept and the x-intecept for?

Question

4x+2y =24

Answer 1

ok to find the x intercept you make y=0

4x+2(0)=24
4x=24
x=24/4
x=6

to find the y intercept you make x=0

4(0)+2y=24
2y=24
y=24/2
y=12

y intercept=12 (0,12)
x intercept= 6 (6,0)

Answer 2

There are many different ways to solve for this- I'll try and to the most simple one ....

4(X) + 2(Y) = 24 ---- first let y=o to find the x intercept.

4X + 0 = 24.


Now solve for X.

4x = 24

4X (/ 4 ) = 24 (/ 4 ) divide both sides by 4.

X= 6.



now substitute the values of (X,Y) so the first ordered pair would be Y=0 & X=6 giving your answer the ordered pair of (6,0)


*subsitute different numbers for Y and you will be able to graph a straight line to check your answer.

Answer 3

Julev, this is something you should be able to figure out for yourself. If you look at a graph with an x and y- axis, the X-INTERCEPT is a horizontal line along which y=0. In that case, x=6. The Y-INTERCEPT is a vertical line along which x=0. In that case y=12. Then, two POINTS on the line are (6,0) and (0,12). As long as you know any TWO point on a line in "2-space", you can figure out the equation of the line. You will probably get homework to do this too. Have fun.

Answer 4

4x+2y =24
2y = 24-4x
y = 12-2x

Y intercept ----> if we make x zero, then y = 12
Y-intercept is (0,12)

X intercept -----> if we make y zero, then x would be 1
X-intercept is (1,0)

hope this helped ^__^
