Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Notice that the terms are linear or constant, so this equation represents a straight line.
We can find the intersections with the
x
and
y
axes by setting
y
or
x
equal to zero, or equivalently covering up the corresponding term and solving the resultant equation.
So putting
x
=
0
we get:
3
y
=
12
Dividing both sides by
3
, we find:
y
=
4
So the line intercepts the
y
axis (which has equation
x
=
0
) at the point
(
0
,
4
)
If we instead put
y
=
0
then we get:
4
x
=
12
