Answer:
vertex: (1, -49)
x-intercepts: (-6, 0) and (8, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
I graphed it and looked for the needed information
here's the graph if you want it:
28 is the correct answer.
We know that
Limacons are in the form
r=a(+-)b*sin (theta) or r=a(+-)b*cos (theta)
in this problem
r=a(+-)b*sin (theta)
so
is symmetric to y axis
a=1/2
b=1/2
a/b=1---------> Cardioid (hearth shaped)
see the attached figure
the answer is the option

In slope-intercept form, we have these values (y = mx + b):
m = slope
b = y-intercept
Change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form.
-9x + 7y = 28
-9x + 9x + 7y = 28 + 9x
7y = 28 + 9x
7y/7 = 28/7 + 9x/7
y = 4 + 9/7x
y = 9/7x + 4
Therefore, the y-intercept is 4.
Best of Luck!
