Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
y=-73 +3
y-intercept:
x-intercept:

Answer 1

• y = - 7x + 3
• For y - intercept, x = 0

y = ( - 7 ×0) + 3

y = 3

y - intercept is (0,3)

• For x - intercept, y = 0

0 = - 7x + 3

- 7x = - 3

x = 3/7

x - intercept is (3/7 ,0)

Answer 2

`y = - 7x + 3 \\ for \: y - intercept, \: x = 0 \\ y = ( - 7 * 0) + 3 \\ y = 3 \\ y - intercept \: is \: (0,3) \\ for \: x - intercept, \: y = 0 \\ 0 = - 7x + 3 \\ - 7x = - 3 \\ x = (3)/(7) \\ x - intercept \: is \: ( (3)/(7) ,0)`
