Answer:

r = 0

r = -7

Explanation:

There is no x in the equation, hence there are no x-intercepts.

__

If we assume you want the values of r that satisfy the equation, the zero product property tells you they will be the values that make the factors zero.

The factors are r and (r+7).

The factor r is zero when ...

r = 0

The factor (r+7) is zero when ...

r +7 = 0 ⇒ r = -7

The "x-intercepts" are r=0 and r=-7.
