Question

I need some help please. I need to find the intercepts for x and y. can someone explain the steps to me? 8x-7y=168

Answer 1

set x=0 to get the y intercept, and y=0 to get the x intercept

Answer 2

so when x=0, y=168/-7 ....... now do the same for y=0, x=168/8

Answer 3

ok so the ordered pair will be (168,-7) and (168,8)?

Answer 4

no, your order pair would be (when x=0) (0, -24) (THIS IS WHERE IT CROSSES THE Y-AXIS) (when y=0) (21, 0) (WHERE IT CROSSES THE X AXIS)

Answer 5

ok so how did you get that?

Answer 6

ok nevermind i figured it out. thanks
