Question

How do you find the x and y intercept of `7y – x = - 12`?

Answer 1

The x intercept is `y=-12/7` and the y intercept is `x=12`

Explanation:

You can find the x and y intercepts of any function by calculating what is the value of x when y=0 and the value of y when x=0, respectivey:

`y=0 -> 7*0-x=-12 -> x=12`

`x=0 -> 7y-0=-12 ->y=-12/7`
