    Given equation : 4x+6y=48.

    The general form of the linear equation is ax + by = c.

    The given equation is already in general form.

    Let us find x-intercept.

    Plugging y = 0 in given equation.

    4x+6 (0) = 48.

    4x + 0 = 48

    4x = 48

    Dividing both sides by 4, we get

    4x/4 = 48/4

    x = 12.

    Therefore, x-intercept is (12,0).

    Let us find y-intercept.

    Plugging x = 0 in given equation.

    4 (0) + 6y=48.

    6y = 48

    Dividing both sides by 6, we get

    6y/6 = 48/6

    y = 8.

    Therefore, y-intercept is (0,8).

    Let us convert given equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.

    4x+6y=48

    Subtracting 4x from both sides, we get

    4x-4x+6y=48-4x

    6y = - 4x+48

    Dividing both sides by 6, we get

    6y/6 = - 4x/6+48/6

    y = - 2/3 x + 8.

    Therefore, slope is - 2/3.

    Let us find factored form now.

    GCF of the given linear equation is 2.

    Factoring out 2 in all term, we get

    3 (2x+3y=24)

    That is factored form.
