Solution

The correct option is C

6,4


The x-intercept is the point where the line cuts the x-axis and the y-intercept is the point where the line cuts the y-axis.

To find x-intercept, put y = 0.

We get, 2x = 12

x = 6

To find y-intercept, put x = 0.

We get, 3y = 12

y = 4

Hence the x-intercept is 6 and the y-intercept is 4.
