Question

24=3f-s
what are the x and y intercepts if the equation?​

Answer 1

y-intercept = -24

x-intercept = 8

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

`24=3f-s`

Rearranging we have:

`s=3f-24`

Comparing the above equation with the slope intercept form of straight line,

`y = mx +c`

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept that is the value of y when x = 0.

y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0 that is the value of s when f is 0.

Thus, the y intercept of the given equation:

`s = 3(0)-24\\s = -24`

Y-intercept is -24

x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0 that is the value of f when s is 0.

Thus, the x intercept of the given equation:

`0 = 3(f)-24\\f = 8`

x-intercept is 8
