Finding X and Y Intercepts in Standard Form

Find the x and y intercepts
4x - 5y = 40

• x intercept is 10 
  y intercept is 8

• x intercept is 10
  y intercept is 20

• x intercept is 8
  y intercept is 10

• x intercept is 10
  y intercept is -8

Find the x-intercept
4x + 3y = 24

• (6,0)

• (0,-6)

• (-8,0)

• (0,-8)

Find the y-intercept
2y = 8x + 12 

• (0,6)

• (0,12)

• (0, ⁴/₃)

• (0, ¹/₆)

Find the x-intercept

• -3

• 12

• 16

x intercept = ​ (a)  

y intercept = ​ (b)  

• (12, 0)

• (0, 12)

• (0, -12)

• (12, -12)

• (6, 6)

• (-6, -6)

• (-12, 0)

• (12, 1)

• (1, 12)
