Aha! Intercepts again!!
Copy down that equation onto paper. Then let y=0 (which will lead to your finding the x-intercept). Solve the resulting equation for x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x= 1.75

sorry for the delay. Please explain why you chose graph c.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the equation is 4x+y=7 right?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
J: I asked you to let y=0 (to find the x-intercept). If y = 0, then the equation becomes what? (Hint: you've already gotten this right).
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Phil: Please solve that equation for x, given that y=0.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is 4x+0=7 is the equation?

Yes, and so the solution is x=?? think: What does x represent?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=7/4 right ?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
that's right. I asked what x=7/4 represents; it's the x-coordinate of the x-intercept. So, take another look at the four choices of answers; which one is the correct graph?
Hope this helps you two to agree on an appropriate answer choice.
I'm going off line now. C u later.

@mathmale thank you I was thinking about a different way to solve a different equation and yes it is C
