Question

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

Answer 1

when y = 0

`0 = (7/8)x + 10`
`-10 = (7/8)x`
`x = -10(8/7)`
`x = -11 3/7`

when x = 0

`y= 7/8(0) +10`
`y= 10`

Explanation:

This is a linear line graph increasing from left to right because `7/8` is a positive gradient.

graph{y=7/8x+10 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The line will intercept y-axis when the x is 0 and it will intercept x-axis when y = 0.
