what are the x and y intercepts for 42-6y=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There isnt an x intercept here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the line y = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would I graph it then??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The x intercept is the point on the graph where y = 0. If you plug in 0 for y you will get 42=0 which is erroneous.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put a point on the y-intercept at 7 and then draw a horizontal line through it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You will observe that the x-intercept is not touched

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you solve for y you will have y = 7. So just draw a horizontal line 7 units up from the x axis.
