Answer 1

part 1!!
slope intercept form issssssssssss............
y = mx + b
m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

Answer 2

can you try put it in that form?

Answer 3

7x+3y=42
3y=42-7x
Or y=42-7x/3
y=14-7/3x
So slope=-7/3
Also, y-intercept=14
Now we can plot the graph.

From the y-intercept 14, go down 7 units since it is -7/3 and 3 units towards the right in positive x-axis. You should get something like that.

Answer 4

Now for the intercepts methods.
Consider the equation
y=-7/3x+14
Y-intercept is 14 right?
Now find the x-intercept, to do so take F(x) or F(y)=0 so,
0=-7/3x+14
Take 14 to other side,
-14=-7/3x
Taking 3 to other side,
-42=-7x
- gets cancelled from both sides, so
42=7x
42/7=6=x
So x-intercept=6
