Question

Determine the intercepts of the line. -6x+3y=-7

Answer 1

To find x-intercept substitute 0 for y and solve for x
-6x + 3(0) = -7
Simplify
-6x=-7
Divide each side by -6
-6x ÷ -6 = -7 ÷ -6
x = 7/6
X = 7/6 is your x intercept
-------------------------------------
To find y-intercept substitute 0 for x and solve for y
-6(0)+3y=-7
Simplify
3y=-7
Divide each side by 3
3y ÷ 3 = -7 ÷ 3
y = -7/3
Y = -7/3 is your y-intercept
