Question

Can someone help me with this question Please.

Solve for the slope, x- and y-intercepts given the equation below.

7x + 2y = -10

x-intercept:

y-intercept:

Slope:

Answer 1

First, you should put it into y-intercept form:
7x+2y=-10
2y=-10-7x
Y=(-7x-10)/2

The slope is the coefficient of x right now, so the slope is -7/2.

The x-intercept’s y is always 0, so we plug that into the equation as y=0.
7x+2y=-10
7x+2(0)=-10
7x+0=-10
X=-10/7

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-10/7,0).

Now, you do the same thing for the y-intercept where x=0 to find your y-intercept.

Hope that made sense!

Answer 2

X intercept: (-10/7, 0)
Y intercept: (0, -5)
Slope: -7/2
