Question

What are the intercepts of `4x-3y=-17`?

Answer 1

`color(violet)("x-intercept " = -17/4, color(purple)(" y-intercept " = 17/3`

Explanation:

`4x - 3y = -17`

When x = 0, `-3y = -17 " or " y = 17/3`

`:. color(violet)("y-intercept " = 17/3`

Similarly, When y = 0, `4x = -17 " or " x = -17/4`

`:. color(violet)("x-intercept " = -17/4`
