QuestionFind the intercepts of the line given by . -intercept: , -intercept:
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The equation of the line is given as .
. The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis (i.e., where ).
3. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (i.e., where ).
STEP 2
To find the x-intercept, we set in the equation of the line and solve for .
STEP 3
Rearrange the equation to solve for .
STEP 4
Divide both sides of the equation by -9 to isolate .
STEP 5
Calculate the value of .
So, the x-intercept is .
STEP 6
To find the y-intercept, we set in the equation of the line and solve for .
STEP 7
Calculate the value of .
So, the y-intercept is -14.
The x-intercept is and the y-intercept is -14.
