Question

find the x intercept and y intercept of the line.
-9x+8y=14

Answer 1

to find the x interceot, make y=0 and solve for x

for y intercept, make x=0 and solve for y

Answer 2

im still having trouble

Answer 3

ok, so lets find the x-intercept first

to do this we plug in 0 for y int he equation
so we have
-9x + 8(0)= 14
can you solve for x?

Answer 4

if you substitute x with zero you will get the new equation
-9(0)+8y=14 then simplify
8y=14 in order to do this divide 14/8 resulting in 1 and 3/4 or 14/8

now substitute zero for y resulting in the new equation
-9x+8(0)=14 now simplify
-9x=14 in order to do this you divide 14/ -9 resulting in -1 and 5/9 or -1.555555556
