Explanation:
To find the
Thus, we need to solve
First, we can add
=
or
=
Then, we need to divide both sides by
Simplifying slightly gets you:
which equates to
Now that we have the equation in Standard form, we can look for the intercepts. Conceptually, an
So, simply plug in those values of
Solving for the
Adding
Multiplying both sides by
or:
Solving for the
Canceling out the term with the
It is worthy to notice that the y-intercept of the equation, when put in Standard Form, is simply the term without the
