Question

x/7 - y/4=1 what is the x and y intercept?

Answer 1

x intercept =7 y intercept is= -4

Answer 2

x-intercept occurs at y=0 (on the x-axis, every y coordinate = 0)

y-intercept occurs at x=0 (on the x-axis, every x coordinate = 0)

So plug in x=0 and find y; plug in y=0 and find x.

Answer 4

ok so i understand that what about the =1 on the question because i have to graph it.

Answer 5

To graph it, once you have the 2 intercepts, you have 2 points. So just use those for the graph.

Answer 6

simply when eqn is in the form x/a +y/b =1 a, b are x,y intercepts respectively
i.e points are (0,b) and (a.0)

Answer 7

join them

Answer 8

To find the intercepts, like I said:

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis, so the y-coordinate = 0

x/7 - 0/4=1
x/7=1
Solve for x, by multiplying both sides by 7

That is the x-coordinate of the x-intercept, and the y-coordinate for that point is =0

similarly for the y-intercept, but with x=0.
