Answer:
x-intercept: (16, 0)
y-intercept: (0, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero and solving for the variable of interest.
I like to find the intercepts from this form because it basically involves dividing the constant by the variable coefficient.
<u>x-intercept</u>
y = 0, so we have 4x = 64 ⇒ x = 64/4 = 16
x-intercept is (16, 0)
<u>y-intercept</u>
x = 0, so we have 8y = 64 ⇒ y = 64/8 = 8
y-intercept is (0, 8)

<em>Additional comment</em>
There is a form of the linear equation called the "intercept form" that looks like this:
x/a +y/b = 1
where 'a' is the x-intercept and 'b' is the y-intercept.
You can get this form by dividing the standard form equation by the constant. Here, that gives ...
4x/64 +8y/64 = 1
x/16 +y/8 = 1
This is nice because it gives both intercepts with one operation (divide by the constant). It's easy enough to do, but not always easy to explain. This form of the equation of a line is rarely seen.
Are you by any chance referring to football? If you are, it is either a play in which by running or passing the offense moves down the field towards the opponent's endzone 15 yards, or it can be obtained by the defense committing an egregious penalty, such as a facemask, unsportsmanlike conduct, or unnecessary roughness.
40; base it off of the y-intercept [C]. What is the unit of measurement?
-3y = x...so we sub in -3y for x in the other equation
-x + 7y = 70
-(-3y) + 7y = 70
3y + 7y = 70
10y = 70
y = 70/10
y = 7
so we sub in 7 for y in either of the original equations to find x
-3y = x
-3(7) = x
-21 = x
so ur solution is (-21,7)
Answer:
-6.8125
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert 13/16 to a decimal.
Write -6 down
You get -6.8125.
