Question

What’s the x and y intercept for y - 4= 7(x- 6)

Answer 1

(38/7, -38)

Explanation:

1. Simplify

• y-4=7(x-6)

y-4=7x-42

2. find x intercept by setting y=0

• 0-4=7x-42

38=7x

38/7=x

(leave in fraction form for most exact answer or convert to decimal and round to nearest tenth)

3. find y intercept by setting x=0

• y-4=7(0)-42

y=-38

4. write point

• (38/7, -38)
