DEETHO THE XX-INTEREEPT AND THE yy-INTERCEPT (GEE P. 73 MATH NOTES)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The equation given is in the form of a linear equation.
2. The x x -intercept is the point where the line crosses the x x -axis, which means y=0 y = 0 .
3. The y y -intercept is the point where the line crosses the y y -axis, which means x=0 x = 0 .

STEP 2

1. Determine the x x -intercept by setting y=0 y = 0 and solving for x x .
2. Determine the y y -intercept by setting x=0 x = 0 and solving for y y .

STEP 3

To find the x x -intercept, set y=0 y = 0 in the equation 3x+4y=8 3x + 4y = 8 .
3x+4(0)=8 3x + 4(0) = 8 3x=8 3x = 8

STEP 4

Solve for x x by dividing both sides by 3:
x=83 x = \frac{8}{3}
Therefore, the x x -intercept is (83,0) \left(\frac{8}{3}, 0\right) .

STEP 5

To find the y y -intercept, set x=0 x = 0 in the equation 3x+4y=8 3x + 4y = 8 .
3(0)+4y=8 3(0) + 4y = 8 4y=8 4y = 8

STEP 6

Solve for y y by dividing both sides by 4:
y=2 y = 2
Therefore, the y y -intercept is (0,2) (0, 2) .
The x x -intercept is (83,0) \left(\frac{8}{3}, 0\right) and the y y -intercept is (0,2) (0, 2) .
