Answer

Choice B

Work Step by Step

The given equation, $ 4x+3y=12 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 3y=-4x+12 \\\\ y=-\dfrac{4}{3}x+\dfrac{12}{3} \\\\ y=-\dfrac{4}{3}x+4 .\end{array} Using $y=mx+b$ where $b$ is the $y-$intercept, the equation above has a $y-$intercept of $ 4 .$ Hence, its graph is that of $\text{ Choice B .}$
