Question

For the graph 2x - 3y - 7 = 0
determine the coordinates of the axes intercepts.

Answer 1

X intercept: (7/2, 0)

Y intercept: (0, -7/3)

Step-by-step explanation: Add 7 to both sides. We get 2x-3y=7

Now, plug in zero for y, and we are left with 2x = 7 (the y cancels.) Dividing by 2 leaves us 7/2, and (0, 7/2)

Now starting back to 2x-3y=7

Plug in zero for x, and we are legt with -3y = 7 (the x cancels.) Divide by -3, and we get -7/3 and (-7/3, 0)
