Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
y = 4x + 7
X-intercept:
y-intercept:

Answer 1

y-intercept is 7

x-intercept is -1.75

Explanation:

y=mx+b

Answer 2

X-intercept: (-1.75, 0)

Y-intercept: (0, 7)

Explanation:

First, find the x intercept by plugging in 0 as y in the equation, then solving for x:

y = 4x + 7

0 = 4x + 7

-7 = 4x

-1.75 = x

Then, find the y intercept by plugging in 0 as x and solving for y:

y = 4x + 7

y = 4(0) + 7

y = 7

So, the x intercept is (-1.75, 0) and the y intercept is (0, 7)
