Question 152189
In order to find any x-intercept, you just need to know when y = 0:
1.7x - 1.2y = 4.08
1.7x - 1.2(0) = 4.08
1.7x = 4.08
x = 4.08/1.7
x = 2.4
This means the x-intercept comes at the point (2.4,0)
<br>In order to find any y-intercept, you just need to know when x = 0:
1.7x - 1.2y = 4.08
1.7(0) - 1.2y = 4.08
-1.2y = 4.08
y = 4.08/-1.2
y = -3.4
This means the y-intercept comes at the point (0,-3.4)
<br>After you graph these points, on a graph, just use a ruler to connect the two. The graph should end up like this:
{{{ graph( 300, 200, -5, 5, -5, 5,(1.7x-4.08)/1.2)}}}
