document.write( "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! \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=0;
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%2810%2F7%29%2A0-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=0-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-7\"--------------this is the y-intercept, and you can say for an equation y=mx+b, the y-intercept is b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rational coefficient on x, \"10%2F7\" would often be found using any two points from the graph of the equation; or any two points which are to satisfy the equation. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of vertical change to horizontal change is SLOPE, and this is the coefficient on x in any equation such as \"y=%2810%2F7%29x-7\" or \"y=mx%2Bb\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept?
\n" ); document.write( "Let y=0 and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%2810%2F7%29x-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2810%2F7%29x-7=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2810%2F7%29x=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2810%2F7%29%2Ax%287%2F10%29=7%287%2F10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=49%2F10%29\"---------the x-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
