Hi,

How do I find the expression of the x-intercept from the equation 

px+qy=z     | x-intercept ⇒ y = 0

 px = z

  x = z/p

To find the x-intercepts of px+-+qy=z, put y=0, since x-intercepts value of x when y=0. The equation normally should be written as y=%28z%2Fq%29-%28p%2Fq%29x. Putting y=0, then x=z%2Fp
