Find the x- and y-intercepts for the linear equation –3x + 4y = 24.

x- intercept = - 8, y- intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x

- 3x + 4(0) = 24

- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 8 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y

- 3(0) + 4y = 24

4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 6 ← y- intercept

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.
