Question 93335
First, it would be helpful if you wrote your equation in the slope-intercept form:{{{y = mx+b}}} where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
{{{y = (7/4)x-7/2}}} here, you can see that the slope {{{m = 7/4}}} and the y-intercept, {{{b = -7/2}}}
The x-intercept occurs when y = 0.
{{{0 = (7/4)x-7/2}}} Add {{{7/2}}} to both sides.
{{{7/2 = (7/4)x}}} Multiply both sides by {{{4/7}}}
{{{(4/7)(7/2) = x}}}
{{{x = 2}}} This is the x-intercept.
