Question

Find the x- and y- intercepts of the equation 7x+ 14 y=28

Answer 1

Chapter : Linear equations

Lesson : Math for Junior High School

7x + 14y = 28

if want to find x and y, we must substitution value 0 to the equation x and y :

# If x = 0, then :

7x + 14y = 28

= 7(0) + 14y = 28

= 0 + 14y = 28

= 14y = 28 → y = 28/14

= y = 2

# If y = 0, then :

7x + 14y = 28

= 7x + 14(0) = 28

= 7x + 0 = 28

= 7x = 28 → x = 28 / 7

= x = 4

and that result was proven x = 4 and y = 2
