Understand that the problem asks for the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line given by the equation 4x-3y-6=0. The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, so the y-coordinate is 0. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, so the x-coordinate is 0.
To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into the equation: 4x - 3(0) - 6 = 0. Simplify this to find the value of x.
Solve the simplified equation for x to get the x-coordinate of the x-intercept. The ordered pair will be (x, 0).
To find the y-intercept, substitute x = 0 into the original equation: 4(0) - 3y - 6 = 0. Simplify this to find the value of y.
Solve the simplified equation for y to get the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. The ordered pair will be (0, y).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Finding x-intercepts

The x-intercept of a line is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, meaning the y-coordinate is zero. To find it, substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x, resulting in an ordered pair (x, 0).

Finding y-intercepts

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis, so the x-coordinate is zero. Substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for y to find the ordered pair (0, y). This point shows where the line meets the y-axis.
