Step 1.2.1

Rewrite the equation as $0 (x - 12) = (0) - (- 14)$ .

$0 (x - 12) = (0) - (- 14)$

Step 1.2.2

Multiply $0$ by $x - 12$ .

$0 = (0) - (- 14)$

Step 1.2.3.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 14$ .

$0 = 0 + 14$

Step 1.2.3.2

Add $0$ and $14$ .

$0 = 14$

Step 1.2.4

Since $0 \neq 14$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

Step 1.3

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

Step 2.2.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 14$ .

$y + 14 = 0 ((0) - 12)$

Step 2.2.2

Simplify $0 ((0) - 12)$ .

Tap for more steps...

Step 2.2.2.1

Subtract $12$ from $0$ .

$y + 14 = 0 \cdot - 12$

Step 2.2.2.2

Multiply $0$ by $- 12$ .

$y + 14 = 0$

Step 2.2.3

Subtract $14$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - 14$

Step 2.3

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 14)$

Step 3

List the intersections.
