1 Answer

Answer: x-intercept: y = -7

y-intercept: x = -5

Explanation:

Rearrange to standard format: y=mx+b

-7x-5y=35

-5y= +7x + 35

y= -(7/5)x -7

b is the y-intercept b=-7

--

Find a value for x that makes y = 0, the x-intercept.

y= -(7/5)x -7

0= -(7/5)x -7

(7/5)x = -7

(5/7)*(7/5)x = (5/7)*(-7)

x = -5, the y-intercept
