Question

Determine the x- and y- intercepts for the graph defined by the given equation. y = 7x + 3 a. x-intercept is ( 3, 0) y-intercept is (0, negative StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction) c. x-intercept is (0, negative StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction) y-intercept is ( 3, 0) b. x-intercept is (negative StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction, 0) y-intercept is (0, 3) d. x-intercept is (3, 0) y-intercept is (negative StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction, 0)

Answer 1

Answer:

x-intercept is (-3/7, 0) and the y-intercept is at (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function y = 7x + 3

The x-intercept occurs at y = 0. Substituting y = 0 into the expression, we will have:

0 = 7x + 3

7x + 3 = 0

7x = -3

x = -3/7

Similarly, the y-intercept occurs at x = 0. Substituting x = 0 into the expression, we will have:

y = 7(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 3

Hence the x-intercept is (-3/7, 0) and the y-intercept is at (0, 3)
