Question

What are the intercepts of `5x+3y=-7`?

Answer 1

Equation of x-axis is `y=0`
So putting `y=0` in the given eqn we will get intercept from x- axis
`:.5*x+3*0=-7=>x =-7/5`
Similarly,Equation of y-axis is `x=0`
So putting `x=0` in the given eqn we will get intercept from y- axis
`5*0+3*y=-7=>y=-7/3`
hence the intercepts are `-7/5` and `-7/3`
