This is four examples of exactly the same kind of problem. We are not going to do all of your work for you; I will work one of them and then let you use that as an example to do the others.
x-intercept of 4 and y-intercept of 7....
(1) There is a little-used form for a linear equation using an x-intercept of a and a y-intercept of b:
You can plug in the given intercepts and put the resulting equation in your general form.
(2) Or you can use the given intercepts to determine the slope of the line and then use that slope and the given y-intercept to write to slope-intercept form of the equation, and then put the equation in general form.
With y-intercept b and x-intercept a, the slope of the line is -b/a. So

Points (4,0) and (0,7)
---------But this could have been computed directly from the formula for slope and the two given axis intercepts.
------using slope-intercept formula
