Answer:

  2. The x-intercept is 4, and the y-intercept is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in general form. I find it easier to see the intercepts when the equation is written in standard form:

  3x -4y = 12

Setting y=0 and solving for x, we have the x-intercept:

  3x = 12   ⇒   x = 12/3 = 4

Setting x=0 and solving for y, we have the y-intercept:

  -4y = 12   ⇒   y = 12/-4 = -3

The x-intercept is 4; the y-intercept is -3.
