Question

X intercept -7 y intercept -5

Answer 1

The x-intercept of a line is when the y coordinate is equal to 0. So, the x-intercept would be (0,-7).

The y-intercept of a line is when the x coordinate is equal to 0. So the y-intercept would be (-5,0).

To find the equation of a line, you need the slope and the y-intercept.
We already know the y intercept is -5. The equation for a line is:

Y=mx+b

m stands for slope
b stands for the y intercept.

To find the slope, use the equation-

y1-y2
--------
x1-x2

Another way to say that is the change in y over the change in x.

Plug in the the 2 coordinate points you know, which are (-7,0) and (0,-5).

0+5
-------,
-7-0


5/-7.

The slope is 5/-7
The Y intercept is -5

The equation of the line is y= 5/-7x -5

The coordinate point for the x intercept is (-7,0)
The coordinate point for the y intercept is (0,-5)
