Q#..12 anybody help me?

Answer 1

Answer: First option. x-intercept is -5; y-intercept is -7/4

Solution:

1) To find the x-intercept we replace y by 0, and solve for x:

-(7/5)x-4y=7

-(7/5)x-4(0)=7

-(7/5)x-0=7

-(7/5)x=7

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -(5/7)

-( 5/7)[-(7/5)]x=-(5/7)(7)

x=-(5*7)/7

x=-35/7

x=-5

The x-intercept is -5

2) To find the y-intercept we replace x by 0, and solve for y:

-(7/5)x-4y=7

-(7/5)(0)-4y=7

-0-4y=7

-4y=7

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4:

-4y/(-4)=7/(-4)

y=-(7/4)

The y-intercept is -(7/4)
