SOLUTION: I know how to work out x and y intercepts accept when the problem reads like this: y = 10/7 x - 7 I am not sure how I am supposed to find the y intercept and also the fraction 10

Question 1006730: I know how to work out x and y intercepts accept when the problem reads like this: y = 10/7 x - 7 I am not sure how I am supposed to find the y intercept and also the fraction 10 over 7 confuses me while trying to find these intercepts. Is y -7? Please help!

Let x=0;

--------------this is the y-intercept, and you can say for an equation y=mx+b, the y-intercept is b.

The rational coefficient on x, would often be found using any two points from the graph of the equation; or any two points which are to satisfy the equation.

The ratio of vertical change to horizontal change is SLOPE, and this is the coefficient on x in any equation such as or .

The x-intercept?
Let y=0 and solve for x.

---------the x-intercept
