Q. Determine the intercepts of the line.\newlineDo not round your answers.\newliney+1=3(x4)y+1=3(x-4)\newlinex-intercept: \newline(,)(\square,\square)\newliney-intercept: \newline(,)(\square,\square)
  1. Finding the x-intercept: To find the x-intercept, we set yy to 00 and solve for xx.
    y+1=3(x4)y + 1 = 3(x - 4)
    Substitute y=0y = 0 into the equation.
    0+1=3(x4)0 + 1 = 3(x - 4)
    1=3(x4)1 = 3(x - 4)
  2. Solving for x: Now, we solve for x.\newline1=3(x4)1 = 3(x - 4)\newlineDivide both sides by 33 to isolate (x4)(x - 4).\newline13=x4\frac{1}{3} = x - 4
  3. Finding the y-intercept: Next, we add 44 to both sides to solve for x.\newline13+4=x\frac{1}{3} + 4 = x\newlinex=4+13x = 4 + \frac{1}{3}\newlinex=4+0.333...x = 4 + 0.333...\newlinex=4.333...x = 4.333... or 4134 \frac{1}{3}
  4. Solving for y: To find the y-intercept, we set xx to 00 and solve for yy.\newliney+1=3(x4)y + 1 = 3(x - 4)\newlineSubstitute x=0x = 0 into the equation.\newliney+1=3(04)y + 1 = 3(0 - 4)\newliney+1=3(4)y + 1 = 3(-4)\newliney+1=12y + 1 = -12
  5. Solving for y: To find the y-intercept, we set x to 00 and solve for y.\newliney+1=3(x4)y + 1 = 3(x - 4)\newlineSubstitute x=0x = 0 into the equation.\newliney+1=3(04)y + 1 = 3(0 - 4)\newliney+1=3(4)y + 1 = 3(-4)\newliney+1=12y + 1 = -12Now, we solve for y.\newliney+1=12y + 1 = -12\newlineSubtract 11 from both sides to isolate y.\newliney=121y = -12 - 1\newliney=13y = -13
