1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation 4x3y=6-4x - 3y = 6, and then graph the equation.

2. Solution Steps

To find the x-intercept, we set y=0y = 0 and solve for xx:
4x3(0)=6-4x - 3(0) = 6
4x=6-4x = 6
x=64=32x = -\frac{6}{4} = -\frac{3}{2}
So, the x-intercept is (32,0)(-\frac{3}{2}, 0).
To find the y-intercept, we set x=0x = 0 and solve for yy:
4(0)3y=6-4(0) - 3y = 6
3y=6-3y = 6
y=63=2y = \frac{6}{-3} = -2
So, the y-intercept is (0,2)(0, -2).
We can also find another point on the line to check our work. Let's set x=3x = 3:
4(3)3y=6-4(3) - 3y = 6
123y=6-12 - 3y = 6
3y=18-3y = 18
y=6y = -6
So, the point (3,6)(3, -6) is on the line.

3. Final Answer

x-intercept: (32,0)(-\frac{3}{2}, 0)
y-intercept: (0,2)(0, -2)
