What’s the x and y intercepts of this equation: -3x-7y=84
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The X and Y intercepts to the equation -3x - 7y = 84 is

x-intercept (s): (−28,0)

y-intercept (s): (0,−12)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in 0 for y and solve for x

−3x−7⋅0=84

Solve the equation.

x=−28

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept (s): (−28,0)

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in 0 for x and solve for y .

−3⋅0−7y=84

Solve the equation.

y=−12

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept (s): (0,−12)

Hope this helps.

X-intercept=2; containing the point (-5,4), using either the general form or the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.
Rus_ich [418]
The line contains point (2, 0) and (-5, 4).
y - 0 = (4 - 0)/(-5 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -4/7 (x - 2)
7y = -4(x - 2)
7y = -4x + 8
4x + 7y = 8
