Intercepts are: $x = - \frac{3}{7} and y = 3$ $x = -3/7 and y = 3$

As long as an equation of a straight line is in the form $y = m x + c$ $y = mx +c$ , the y-intercept is obtained immediately from 'c'.

To find the y-intercept, make $x = 0$ $x = 0$
To find the x-intercept, make $y = 0$ $y=0$

If $x = 0 : y = 7 (0) + 3 \Rightarrow y = 3$ $x=0:" " y = 7(0) +3 " "rArr y = 3$

If $y = 0 : 0 = 7 x + 3$ $y =0:" " 0 = 7x+3$
$7 x = - 3 \Rightarrow x = - \frac{3}{7}$ $" "7x = -3 " "rArr x = -3/7$

How do you find the x and y intercept of y = 7x + 3y=7x+3y = 7x + 3?
