Answer:

y= -1.82

x= -1.63

Explanation:

First, we can assume that the expression is equal to 0 (4.9x+4.4y+8=0), making it an equation which will prove to be important.

Now, we will start with the y intercept. The y intercept has an x value of 0, so we substitute x for 0. To solve, first multiply 4.9 by 0 to cancel it out. Subtract 8 from both sides to get 4.4y=-8. Finally, divide by 4.4 on both sides for an y intercept of -1.81 with the 81 repeating forever, which can be rounded to -1.82.

Now, for the x intercept, we do something similar. We substitute the x for zero, and multiply it by the coefficient to cancel them both out. Subtract 8 from both sides, this time dividing by 4.9 on both sides for an x intercept of -1.632653... let's just call it -1.63.
