x-intercept:

y-intercept:

Find both the -intercept and the -intercept of the line given by the equation . Round your answers to decimal places.

Solution

6.1x - 8.3y - 8.4 = 0

Try to write it in the form y=mx+b

8.3y = 6.1x - 8.4 then y = 0.735x - 1.012

Remember that a line in the form y=mx+b, has a slope m and a y-intercept b.

Then the y-intercept is -1.01.

Now, to find the x-intercept substitute y=0 in the equation and solve for x.

0 = 0.735x - 1.012 then 0.735x = 1.012 and x=1.377

The x-intercept would be 1.38.
