Question 501304: Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line with the given equation
1. x - y - 3= 0
2. -7x - 14y - 5= 0
3. 6x + 4y= -5 Answer by Mr_Mathman(5) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the x intercepts set y=0 and solve for x
To find the y intercepts set x=0 and solve for y
For eqn 1 x - y - 3= 0
x-0-3=0 add 3 to both sides
x=3
0-y-3=0 add y to both sides
y=-3
For eqn 2 -7x - 14y - 5= 0
-7x-0-5=0 add 5 to both sides
-7x=5 divide both sides by -7
x=-5/7
-0-14y-5=0 add 5 to both sides
-14y=5 divide both sides by -14
y=-5/14
For eqn 3 6x + 4y= -5
6x+0=-5 divide both sides by 6
x=-5/6
0+4y=-5 divide both sides by 4
y=-5/4
