Question

4x – 3y = 17
y-intercept:
2-intercept:

Answer 1

y-intercept = -17/3

x-intercept = 17/4

Explanation:

4x - 3y = 17

y-intercept is for x = 0.

x-intercept is for y = 0.

y-intercept:

put x = 0 to the equation

4(0) - 3y = 17

0 - 3y = 17

-3y = 17 divide both sides by (-3)

y = - 17/3

x-intercept:

put y = 0 to the equation

4x - 3(0) = 17

4x - 0 = 17

4x = 17 divide both sides by 4

x = 17/4
