Concept used:
If a straight line passes through the points (a, 0) (on the x-axis) and (0, b) (on the y-axis), we say that the x-intercept is a and the y-intercept is
b.
The x -intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for a, similarly, the y-intercept is found by setting x=0 and solving for b.
Calculation:
For the given equation 4x3y=12
y=04x=12xintercept=3,
x=03y=12yintercept=4
Conclusion:
For the given line, xintercept=3andyintercept=4
