Answer:
X- INTERCEPT = 7
Y- INTERCEPT = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 7y = 14.
Let's rearrange the equation to our usual form in function of y.
A linear EQUATION has the form:
y = mx + c.
m and c are constant.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
7y = 2x - 14.
Now, to get the intercept, we make both y, and x = 0 and note their value.
X- INTERCEPT (let y = 0, then solve for x.
7y = 2x - 14
7(0) = 2x - 14
2x = 14
Divide through by 7
x = 7
X- INTERCEPT = 7
Y- INTERCEPT (let x = 0, then solve for y.
7y = 2x - 14
7y = 2(0) - 14
7y = -14
Divide through by 7
y = -14/7
y= -2.
Y- INTERCEPT = -2
