Question

Find the intercepts of the equation.
4x + 7y = - 84

Answer 1

To find the x and y intercepts, we have to plug 0 into x and y respectively.

4(0) + 7y = -84

Simplify.

7y = -84

Divide both sides by 7

y = -12

The y-intercept = (0, -12)

4x + 7(0) = -84

Simplify.

4x = -84

Divide both sides by 4

x = -21

The x-intercept = (-21, 0)

Answer 2

x-intercept is (-21,0)
y-intercept is (0,-12)
