Both the x and y intercept are at #(0, 0)#

To find the x-intercept, plug in #0# for #y# and solve for #x#:
#4x + 3(0) = 0#

#4x = 0#

#x = 0#

Therefore, the #x# intercept is at #(0, 0)#.

Since it is at the origin, that means the #y# intercept is also #(0, 0)#.

Therefore, both the x and y intercept are at #(0, 0)#.

Hope this helps!
