Question

y=75x+175? trying to find x-intercept

Answer 1

75x+175=0
75x=-175
x=-2 1/3

Answer 2

To find the x intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x

y=75x+175


0=75x+175


-175 = 75x


-175/75 = x


-7/3 = x


x = -7/3


So the x intercept is (-7/3, 0)

Answer 3

so in decimal form? for -7/3? so i can plot.

Answer 4

-7/3 = -2.333333... (the 3s repeat forever)

Answer 5

so x intercept is (-2.3333, 0)

Answer 6

what about -2.3, 0

Answer 7

sure that'll work too
