What are the intercepts of the line 2x + 4y = 12?

A. x-intercept: 6; y-intercept: - 3 B. x-intercept: 6; y-intercept: 3 C. x-intercept: - 6; y-intercept: 3 D. x-intercept: - 6; y-intercept: - 3

The answer is B. if you make the x zero to find the y-int it would be 3 and if you make the y zero to find the x-int it would be be x-int = 6 y-int=3

For x-intercepts, you plug 0 for y and solve for x, and vice versa for y-intercepts.

X: 2X+4 (0) = 12

2x = 12

12/2 = 6 so the x intercept is 6.

Y: 2 (0) + 4Y=12

4y = 12

12/4 = 3 so the y intercept is 3.

Your answer is B. x-intercept: 6; y-intercept: 3
