Explanation:

"to find the intercepts"to find the intercepts

• " let x = 0, in equation for y-intercept" let x = 0, in equation for y-intercept

• " let y = 0, in equation for x-intercept" let y = 0, in equation for x-intercept

x=0toy=0+7toy=7larrcolor(red)" y-intercept"x=0y=0+7y=7 y-intercept

y=0to3x+7=0tox=-7/3larrcolor(red)" x-intercept"y=03x+7=0x=73 x-intercept

"plot the points " (0,7),(-7/3,0)" and draw a straight line"plot the points (0,7),(73,0) and draw a straight line
"through them"through them
