Question

What are the intercepts for `y = 5x - 7`?

Answer 1

`(0,-7) and (7/5,0)`

Explanation:

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and you get `y = - 7`

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and you get `x= 7/5`

Note that a linear straight line graph of form `y=mx+c` has gradient m (in this case 5) and y-intercept c (in this case -7)

Graphically :

graph{5x-7 [-20.27, 20.27, -10.13, 10.15]}
