Question

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line.
7x-5y=35

Answer 1

x (5, 0)

y (7, 0)

Answer 2

Explanation:

The x -intercept is the point where y = 0 so:

7x - 5(0) = 35

x = 35/7 = 5

x-intercept is at (5, 0)

The y -intercept is the point where x = 0 so:

7(0) - 5y = 35

y = 35/-5 = -7

x-intercept is at (0, -7)
