Find the x and y Intercepts x+y=12

$x + y = 12$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$x + 0 = 12$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$x = 12$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(12, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$(0) + y = 12$

Add $0$ and $y$ .

$y = 12$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 12)$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(12, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 12)$
