Question

Determine the intercepts of the line. Do not round your answers. y = -9x - 14.

Options:
Option 1: x-intercept: (-1.56, 0); y-intercept: (0, -14)
Option 2: x-intercept: (-1.55, 0); y-intercept: (0, -14.01)
Option 3: x-intercept: (-1.57, 0); y-intercept: (0, -13.99)
Option 4: x-intercept: (-1.54, 0); y-intercept: (0, -14.02)

Answer 1

The intercepts of the line y = -9x - 14 are (x-intercept: -1.56, 0) and (y-intercept: 0, -14).

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercepts of the line y = -9x - 14 are:

x-intercept: (-1.56, 0)

y-intercept: (0, -14)

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. To find it, set y = 0 and solve for x. x-intercept = (-14 / -9) = (-1.56, 0). The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is when x = 0. y-intercept = -9(0) - 14 = (0, -14).
