find the intercept made by line segment 4x+3y+12 is equal to 0 (answer with steps)

Answer»

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

Therefore,For equation 4x + 3y + 12 = 0Convert this equation to standard formy = - 4x/3 - 4

Hence, Intercept for given equation is - 4

Equation of the line segment is 4 * x + 3 * y + 12 = 0,so,x - intercept,put, y = 0,x = - 3,y - intercept,put x = 0,y = -4,hence,intercept of the given line segment 4 * x + 3 * y + 12 = 0 is ( -3, -4 ).
