Apoint with an ordinate of 0 belongs to the graph of the equation 12x–15y=132. find the abscissa of that point.

The equation: 12x-15y = 132

In a coordinate, ordinate is the "y" value while abscissa is the "x" value.

In the current task, ordinate (y) = 0.

Substituting for y in the equation

12x-15y=132 =>12x -15(0)=132 => 12x-0=132 => 12x=132 => x=132/12 = 22
Therefore, abscissa of the point is 22. The point lies on x-axis.
