Q. Determine the intercepts of the line.Do not round your answers.y+1=3(x−4)x-intercept: (□,□)y-intercept: (□,□)
Finding the x-intercept: To find the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve for x. y+1=3(x−4) Substitute y=0 into the equation. 0+1=3(x−4) 1=3(x−4)
Solving for x: Now, we solve for x.1=3(x−4)Divide both sides by 3 to isolate (x−4).31=x−4
Finding the y-intercept: Next, we add 4 to both sides to solve for x.31+4=xx=4+31x=4+0.333...x=4.333... or 431
Solving for y: To find the y-intercept, we set x to 0 and solve for y.y+1=3(x−4)Substitute x=0 into the equation.y+1=3(0−4)y+1=3(−4)y+1=−12
Solving for y: To find the y-intercept, we set x to 0 and solve for y.y+1=3(x−4)Substitute x=0 into the equation.y+1=3(0−4)y+1=3(−4)y+1=−12Now, we solve for y.y+1=−12Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate y.y=−12−1y=−13
