Determine the intercepts of the line.
- 4x + y = 3
I-intercept:
y-intercept:

Assuming it's the x-intercept and y-intercept:

x-intercept: (-,0)

y-intercept: (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, one sets the y-value to 0, since the x-intercept is found along the x-axis.  The equation becomes -4x = 3.  Then, simplify by dividing each side by negative four to achieve x = -.  Thus, the x-intercept must be (-,0).

To find the y-intercept, look at the right side of the equation - the y-value is 3.  There is no more simplification required since the coefficient to y is already 1.  Since the y-intercept lies on the y-axis where the x-value is 0, the coordinates are (0,3).

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
