what is the x-intercept

Question

7x − 9y = ^–7

Answer 1

7x-9y=-7

To find the x intercept put y=0

7x =-7

Divide both sides by 7

Then x= -1

( -1,0 )

Answer 2

9y = 7x +7

y = (7/9)x + 7/9

slope = 7/9 = coefficient of the x term, when the equation is solved for y

coincidentally, the y intercept is also = 7/9
