x = 4 ⇒ equation of a line parallel to y - axis. y = 3 ⇒ Equation of a line parallel to x-axis. Putting x = 0 in the equation 3x + 4y = 12, 3 × 0 + 4y = 12 Þ y =
12
4
= 3 ∴ Co-ordinates of the point of intersection on y-axis = (0, 3) Again putting y = 0 in the equation 3x + 4y = 12, 3x + 4 × 0 = 12 ⇒ x =
