Question

What's the intercepts of the line 4x-3y=17

X[__,__]
Y[__,__]

Answer 1

Answer: REMEMBER (X, Y)

x(4 1/4, 0)

y(0, -5 2)

Explanation:

Find the x-intercept

To find x intercept subtract y equals 0

4 x - 3 × 0 = 17

Any equation multiplied by 0 equals 0

4x - 0 = 17

When adding or subtracting zero quality does not change

4x = 17

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = 17/4

Solution

X = 17/4

Alternate form

X = 4 1 / 4, x = 4.25

Find y-intercept

To find y intercepts subtract x equals 0

4 × 0 - 3y = 17

Solve the equation for y

Y = -17 / 3

Solution

y = -17 / 3

Alternate form

y = -5 2 / 3, y = -5.6
