Find x-intercept
The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.
3x + y = 16
3x + 1(0) = 16
x1 = 5.333 y1 = 0
Find y-intercept
The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.
3x + y = 16
3(0) + y = 16
y2 = 16 x2 = 0
