Question

How do you graph using the intercepts for `-x-7y=14`?

Answer 1

Axis intercept values are when either `x` or `y` values are 0.

Explanation:

Because your equation is a linear function, the two intercepts can be calculated as follows:

Sub `x =0`
`-x-7y=14`
`-(0)-7y=14`
`-7y=14`
`y=-2`
`:.x`-intercept is `y=-2`

Sub `y =0`
`-x-7y=14`
`-x-7(0)=14`
`-x=14`
`:.y`-intercept is `x=-14`

Having this two points, simply draw a straight line between the intercepts, extrapolate it to infinity and you will get your graph! Hope this helps!
