SOLUTION: The x-intercept of a nonhorizontal line is determined by where the line crosses the x-axis or where the y-value is 0. Find the value of x when y = 0 in the equation 4x + 7y = 8.

Find the value of x when y = 0 in the equation 4x + 7y = 8.
:
y = 0
4x + 7(0) = 8
which is 4x = 8
divide both sides y 4
x = 2, when y = 0; also known as the x intercept
