Question

What are the intercepts of `7x-6y=8`?

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0. Then `x=8/7`.

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0. Then `y=-8/6=-4/3`.

The equation of the linear function in standard form is `y=7/6x-4/3` and the graph is shown below for verification of the intercept points.
