Explanation:
Given
2x + 7y = 42
To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x
2x + 7(0) = 42, that is
2x = 42 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 21 ← x- intercept or (21, 0 )
To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y
2(0) + 7y = 42 , that is
7y = 42 ( divide both sides by 7 )
y = 6 ← y- intercept or (0, 6 )
