Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the point of intersection of the line and the x-axis. On the x-axis, every y-coordinate is zero. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0, and solve for x.

2x + y = 7

2x + 0 = 7

2x = 7

x = 3.5

The x-intercept is 3.5. The coordinates of the x-intercept are (3.5, 0).

The y-intercept is the point of intersection of the line and the y-axis. On the y-axis, every x-coordinate is zero. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0, and solve for y.

2x + y = 7

2(0) + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

The y-intercept is 5. The coordinates of the y-intercept are (0, 5).

Now that you have the intercepts, you know two points on the line.

plot the x-intercept (3.5, 0) and the y-intercept (0, 5), and draw a line through those two points.
