Question

IF point A is (3,8) and point B is -6,-4)and the slope is 4/3 what would the x and y intercepts be?

Answer 1

do you have answer choices?

Answer 2

No

Answer 4

Hannah, you have had several related questions, and should be able to do these by now.

Once more ....
you slope is correct.

Here is a method that should work for you all the time
if you know the slope and a point
( let's pick the point (3,8) with slope 4/3

then (y-8)/(x-3) = 4/3
cross-multiply and your fractions disappear.
4x - 12 = 3y - 24
4x - 3y = -12
This equation is often called the "standard form" in some textbooks.

it is very easy to find the intercepts from that form .
let x = 0 (put your little pinkie over the x term, what have you got left ? ) y = 4
let y = 0 (put your little pinkie over the y term, and what is left ? ) x = -3

and there you go, you got your intercepts.
