QuestionFind the intercepts of the line given by 4x+7y=3-4x + 7y = 3. Provide exact values.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation of the line is given by 4x+7y=3-4x +7y =3. . The xx-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the xx-axis. At this point, y=0y =0.
3. The yy-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the yy-axis. At this point, x=0x =0.

STEP 2

To find the xx-intercept, we set y=0y =0 in the equation of the line and solve for xx.
4x+7(0)=-4x +7(0) =

STEP 3

implify the equation to find the xx-intercept.
x=3-x =3

STEP 4

To isolate xx, divide both sides of the equation by 4-4.
x=34x = \frac{3}{-4}

STEP 5

Calculate the xx-intercept.
x=34x = -\frac{3}{4}So, the xx-intercept is (34,0)(-\frac{3}{4},0).

STEP 6

To find the yy-intercept, we set x=0x =0 in the equation of the line and solve for yy.
4(0)+y=3-4(0) +y =3

STEP 7

implify the equation to find the yy-intercept.
7y=37y =3

STEP 8

To isolate yy, divide both sides of the equation by 77.
y=37y = \frac{3}{7}

STEP 9

Calculate the yy-intercept.
y=37y = \frac{3}{7}So, the yy-intercept is (,37)(, \frac{3}{7}).
The xx-intercept is (34,)(-\frac{3}{4},) and the yy-intercept is (,37)(, \frac{3}{7}).
