Find the intercept and then use them to graph the equation 1.4x-13y=3.64.
I just can't seem to find the intercept or to even solve the equation. Please help! Thank you so much.
To find the intercepts of the equation 1.4x - 13y = 3.64, we need to determine the x-intercept and the y-intercept.
1. X-intercept: The x-intercept occurs when the value of y is 0. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.
1.4x - 13(0) = 3.64
1.4x = 3.64
x = 3.64 / 1.4
x = 2.6
The x-intercept is (2.6, 0).
2. Y-intercept: The y-intercept occurs when the value of x is 0. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.
1.4(0) - 13y = 3.64
-13y = 3.64
y = 3.64 / -13
y = -0.28
The y-intercept is (0, -0.28).
Now that we have the x-intercept at (2.6, 0) and the y-intercept at (0, -0.28), we can plot these points on the graph and draw a line through them to visualize the equation.
Please note that intercepts are the points where a line intersects the x-axis (x-intercept) or the y-axis (y-intercept).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
