3x + 4y - 12 = 0

to find the x- intercept,

let y= 0

So, 3x + 4y - 12 = 0

substitute the value y;

3x + 4 (0) - 12 = 0

3x + 0 - 12 = 0

3x = 0 + 12

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4, the x- intercept is 4 ---- the ordered pair is (4, 0).

 

To solve for the y- intercept, let x = 0

3x + 4y -12 = 0

3(0) + 4y -12 = 0

0 + 4y - 12 = 0

4y = 0 + 12

4y = 12

4y/4 = 12/4

y = 3 , therefore, 3 is the y-intercept and the ordered pair is ( 0,3)
