Question

What are the intercepts of : `17y= - 32x + 12`?

Answer 1

x-intercept : `= 3/8`

y-intercept : `= 12/17`

Explanation:

X-intercept : When you have a linear equation, the x-intercept is the point where the graph of the line crosses the x-axis.

Y-intercept : When you have a linear equation, the y-intercept is the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis.

`17y = -32x + 12`

Let y = 0 or remove y term.

x-intercept : `-32x + 12 = 0` or `32x = 12` or `x = 3/8`

Let x = 0 or remove x term.

y-intercept : `17y = 12` or `y = 12 / 17`

graph{-32x/17 + 12/17 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
