Question

How do you graph using the intercepts for `-4x-14y=28`?

Answer 1

Simplify it and use the formulas; for x-intercept, y=0 and vice versa.

Explanation:

`-4x - 14y = 28`
`-14y= 4x +28`
`y= -2/7 x-2`

Using the formulas, substitute, and you can get `-7` for your `x` intercept. Since I have written my equation in slope intercept form, (`y=mx+b`), my `b` is my `y` intercept, `-2`.

Since you have your intercepts, plot the two points and connect.
