Question

determine the intercepts of the line.
do not round your answers.
$y = -3x + 12$
y-intercept: $(\boxed{\phantom{0}},\boxed{\phantom{0}})$
x-intercept: $(\boxed{\phantom{0}},\boxed{\phantom{0}})$

Explanation:

Step1: Find y-intercept, set $x=0$

$y = -3(0) + 12 = 12$

Step2: Find x-intercept, set $y=0$

$0 = -3x + 12$
$3x = 12$
$x = \frac{12}{3} = 4$

Answer:

y-intercept: $(0, 12)$
x-intercept: $(4, 0)$
