Question

Find the y-intercept and x-intercept of the line.

5x - 7y = -12

y-intercept: __


x-intercept: __

Answer 1

5x - 7y = -12

x-intercept: y = 0
5x = -12
x = -12/5
so x-intercept: (-12/5 , 0)


y-intercept: x = 0
-7y = -12
y = -12/-7
y = 12/7
so y-intercept: (0 , 12/7)

answer
x-intercept: (-12/5 , 0)
y-intercept: (0 , 12/7)
