x-intercept: (8,0)
y-intercept: (0,2) Explanation: Misinterpretation of how an intercept is written.
Practice makes perfect
Let's look at the given linear equation.
3x+12y=24
The equation is written in standard form, and it represents a straight line on the plane. In the given solution both intercepts were calculated in a correct manner, but they were not written properly. With any non-horizontal linear function, the x-intercept has y=0 and the y-intercept has x=0. We must write the correct answer as two points.
&x-intercept:(8,0)
&y-intercept:(0,2)
