What is the product of the x−intercept and y−intercept of the equation 6x−8y=24

How do I solve this problem?

Please do not send the answer, just help me figure out what I'm supposed to do, please!

Set y equal to zero and find the corresponding value of x.  This gives you the x-intercept.

Set x equal to zero and find the corresponding value of y.  This gives you the y-intercept.

 

Then multiply the two results together.

6x8y=24|:24624x824y=1x4y3=1x4+y3=1y3yintercept+x4xintercept=1

 

y−intercept * x−intercept  = -3 * 4 = -12
