Step 1.2.1

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$- 3 = 0$

Step 1.2.2

Since $- 3 \neq 0$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

Step 1.3

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

x-intercept(s): $None$

Step 2.2.3.1

Subtract $4$ from $0$ .

$y = \frac{- 3}{- 4}$

Step 2.2.3.2

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = \frac{3}{4}$

Step 2.3

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, \frac{3}{4})$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $None$

y-intercept(s): $(0, \frac{3}{4})$
