Question 197144This question is from textbook
: 7.1x - 3.9y = 1.4 calculate slope, x-intercept, y-intercept and label the intercepts on the graph

Rewrite the equation as
3.9y=7.1x-1.4
y=%287.1%2F3.9%29x-%281.4%2F3.9%29
y=1.82x-0.36 ------(1)
general equation for slope-intercept form for a line is
y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.
So slope = 1.82
y intercept = (0,-0.36)
to find x intercept , put y=0 in the equation (1)
x intercept = (0.198,0)
