Question

Find the x and y intercepts of the graph of

the equation 11x + 2y = 44. Find the
intercepts algebraically and show your
work on your work paper.

Answer 1

Find the slope of the line through the given points: (3, 7) & (5, 7).

Explanation:

Answer 2

x-intercept : 4

y-intercept : 22

Explanation:

The equation is given as ;

11x + 2y = 44

write the equation in form of y= mx + c where c is the y-intercept and m is the gradient.

11x + 2y = 44

2y =-11x + 44 ----divide each term by 2 as;

y= -11/2 x + 44/2

y= -5.5 x + 22 ------equation of the graph

y-intercept is 22

x- intercept is the value of x when y=0

y= -5.5 x + 22

0 = -5.5 x + 22

5.5 x = 22

x = 22/ 5.5

x= 4
