Question

Find the x and y-intercepts

y=10/7x+8

Answer 1

slope and y-intercept, sorry

Answer 2

shouldn't the x come above in numerator?

Answer 3

that is exactly how the equation is presented

Answer 4

it is not a line...
you cant get the slope
it is a hyperbola

Answer 5

its asking me to graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept

Answer 6

If we follow the order of operations, this becomes a linear equation

\[y = {10 \over 7} x + 8\]

The slope is the 10/7 (think rise/run)

and the y -intercept is the 8 or (0, 8) written as a point.

PLot the point (0, 8)

then from that point "rise 10" and move to the right (run) 7 to find a second point.

There is a nice explanation on how to do this kind of work here

look at the second example.

OK?

Answer 7

in terms of y set x to 0, then in terms of x set y to 0.
