Question

Determine the intercepts of the line 4x-3y=17

Answer 1

Answer:

x-intercept = 17/4 and y = -17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intercepts: set x = 0 for the y-intercept and solve the equation and set y =0 for the x- intercept and solve the equation.

To

4x - 3y = 17

4(0) - 3y = 17

0 - 3y = 17

  y = 17 /-3

 y = -17/3 = -5 2/3       y-intercept = -5 2/3.

The ordered pair on the graph is (0, -17/3)

   4x - 3(0) = 17

     4x - 0 = 17

      4x = 17

       x = 17/4       x-intercept = 17/4

    The ordered pair on the graph is (17/4, 0)
