Reduce the following equations into intercept form and find their intercepts on the axes.

3x + 2y – 12 = 0


Equation of line in intercept form is given by, where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are intercepts on x axis and y – axis respectively.


Given equation is 3x + 2y – 12 = 0



Dividing both sides by 12, we get




The above equation is of the form, where a = 4, b = 6


Intercept on x – axis = 4


Intercept on y – axis = 6
