The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                       (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                                  (Zero product property: )

The y-intercept is -12.

The co-ordinate point is (0, -12)

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

                            (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

          (Add 12 to each side)

                                  (Apply additive inverse property: )

                     (Multiply each side by 5)

                              (Cancel common terms)

                                     (Multiply: )

                               (Divide each side by 3)

                                    (Cancel common terms)

x = 20                                        (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 20.

The co-ordinate point is (20, 0)

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.

The x-intercept is and y-intercept is 1.2.
