Question

Determine the intercepts of the line

7x-5=4y-6


x intercepts: ( , )

y intercepts: ( , )

Answer 1

x-intercept: -1/7

y-intercept: 1/4

Explanation:

change equation into standard form: 7x - 4y = -1

set 'x' to zero and solve for y: 0 - 4y = -1

y = 1/4

set 'y' to zero and solve for x: 7x - 0 = -1

x = -1/7
