Question

Find the x and y intercepts of the equation: 3 x − 7 y = 42

Answer 1

x intercept: (14,0)

y intercept (0, -6)

Explanation:

Let y = 0

3x -7(0) = 42

3x = 42 Divide both sides by 3

x = 14

(14,0) x intercept

Let x = 0

3(0) - 7(y) = 42

-7y = 42 Divide both sides by +7

y = -6

(0, -6) y -intercept
