rAnswer: x-intercept: (-0.75, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 3/7)

Step-by-step explanation: An x and y intercept is the point when the line crosses the x and y axis respectively. When a line crosses the x axis, the y value is 0 and when the line crosses y axis, the x value is 0. This means we can set y and x equal to 0 and solve for the other variable.

To solve for the x intercept, we set y equal 0 so:

-4x + 7(0) = 3

-4x = 3

x = -(3/4)

so we get

(-3/4, 0) or (-0.75, 0) for our x int

For the y intercept we set x equal 0:

-4(0) + 7y = 3

7y = 3

y = 3/7

so we get

(0, 3/7) for our y int
