Question

Graph this line using intercepts:
7x–21y=420
Click to select points on the graph.

Answer 1

The line 7x - 21y = 420 using intercepts (60, 0) and (0, -20) is graphed and attached

Graphing the line using intercepts

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

7x - 21y = 420

Set x = 0 to calculate the y-intercept

So, we have

7(0) - 21y = 420

- 21y = 420

This gives

y = -20

So, the y-intercept is (0, -20)

Set y = 0 to calculate the x-intercept

So, we have

7x - 21(0) = 420

7x = 420

This gives

x = 60

So, the x-intercept is (60, 0)
