Find the x and y intercepts of each line

Question

Equation:

7y-14x=-28

Answer 1

In order to find the x-intercept, then the y variable is 0. Input 0 in place of y in the formula, and solve for x.

X-Axis (solve for X-interception) Solve for x in following Equation (x,0):

Step 1 = 7(0)-14x=-28

Step 2 = 0 -14x=-28

Step 3 = -14x=-28

Step 4 = x = -28 / -14

Step 5 = x = 2 (Answer for x-incept)

RESULT is (2,0)

Now for Y-Intercept, the same process, but solve for y when x is equal to 0.

Y-Axis (solve for Y-interception) Solve for y in following Equation (0,y):

Step 1 = 7y-14(0)=-28

Step 2 = 7y - 0=-28

Step 3 = 7y=-28

Step 4 = y = -28 / 7

Step 5 = y = -4 (Answer for y-incept)

RESULT is (0,-4)

I hope this clarifies your understanding and the process to solve for the x and y intercepts of this linear equation!

Answer 2

Along the x-axis, y = 0.

7(0) - 14x = -28

-14x = -28

x = 2

(-2,0) is your x-intercept.

I bet you can find the y-intercept!
