$\boxed{\boxed{\text{ if } \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d} \text{ then }a\times d=b\times c}}$

$\dfrac{10}{7}=\dfrac{x}{5}\\\\10\times5=7\times x\\50=7x\\7x=50\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{50}{7}}$

Find the x intercept. (Using the equation is more accurate, but I included a graph for reference)

MariettaO [177]

For the X intercept you set y = 0 and solve for x

Y = $- \frac{8}{3}$ x + 9
0= $- \frac{8}{3}$ x + 9 subtract 9 from both sides
-9 = $-\frac{8}{3} x$ divide both sides by 3
-3 = -8x divide both sides by -8
$\frac{3}{8}$ = x

X-intercept = ( $\frac{3}{8}$ , 0)
