Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

9x - 7y = 21

-7y = -9x + 21

y = (9/7)(x) - 3

The y-intercept is where x = 0.

y = (9/7)(0) - 3

y = 0 - 3

y = -3

The x-intercept is where y = 0.

0 = (9/7)(x) - 3

3 = (9/7)(x)

21 = 9x

x = 21/9

x = 7/3

The correct answer would be C. The x-intercept would be at (7/3, 0) and the y-intercept at (0, -3). Hope that helps! :)
