Question

How do you find the x and y intercept given `y = 7/8x + 10`?

Answer 1

To find the y-intercept, substitute `0` for `x`:
`y =7/8(0)+10`
`y=10`
The y-intercept is `10`.

To find the x-intercept, substitute `0` for `y`:
`0=7/8x +10`
`7/8x =-10`
`x =-10*8/7`
`x = -80/7`
The x-intercept is `-80/7`.
