Question

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line.

Answer 1

The x intercept is at (-7, 0).

The y intercept is at (0, 1).

To find both the x and the y intercept, we need to solve one at a time.

For the x intercept, we need to make the value of y equal to 0, and solve for x.

-x + 7y = 7

-x + 7(0) = 7

-x = 7

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -7

The x intercept is -7.

Now for the y intercept.

-(0) + 7y = 7

7y = 7

Divide both sides by 1.

y = 1

The y intercept is at 0, 1.
