Answers:
x intercept is -3/4, y intercept is 3/7

Step by step

To find x and y intercepts in a standard form, substitute 0 in for the other variable and solve.

-4x + 7y = 3
Solve for x

-4x + (7)(0) = 3

Divide both sides by -4 to solve for x

-4/-4 x = 3 /-4
x = -3/4

-4x + 7y = 3
Solve for y

(-4)(0) + 7y = 3

Divide both sides by 7 to solve for y

7/7 y = 3/7

y = 3/7
