Find the coordinates of the points where the line representing the equation straight x over 4 equals 1 minus y over 6cuts the x-axis and the y-axis.

Solution
straight x over 4 equals 1 minus y over 6
for intersection with x-axis, put y = 0
therefore space space space x over 4 equals 1 space space rightwards double arrow space x space space equals space 4      

Hence the point of intersection with x-axis is (4, 0).
For intersection with y-axis, put x = 0
therefore space space space space space 1 minus straight y over 6 equals 0 space rightwards double arrow space straight y over 6 equals 1 space space rightwards double arrow space space space space straight y space equals space 6
Hence the point of intersection with y-axis is (0, 6).
