Find the x and y intercepts of the line represented by the equation: 3 x + 7 y = 63

Question

babynini · Answer

Hello my dear!
the way to find intercepts here is to set either x equal to 0 or y equal to 0.

babynini · Answer

when x = 0 you get the y intercept
when y = 0 you get the x intercept

yes i did that, and i got x= 21 and Y=9 but when I plug it in it equals a higher number and also it comes out wrong.

did you deleted your comment o.o

babynini · Answer

ooh..hm
yes x = 21, y = 9
yeah you got the correct values o.o

babynini · Answer

i'm not sure why it's coming out to a higher value. Weird.
did you copy the question correctly?

babyx3boo · Answer

yes, i just figure out why I got it wrong is because i had to put them as a pair (21,0) and (0,9) i'm sorry for that, my fault!
