#color(indigo)("x-intercept = a = 1/5, y-intercept = b = -7/11"#

Explanation:

#-11y + 35x = 7#

#(35x - 11y)/7 = 1#

#5x - (11/7)y = 1#

#x / (1/5) + y / -(7/11) = 1#

Equation is in the form #x/a + y/b = 1# where

#"a is x-intercept, b is y-intercept"#

#:.color(indigo)("x-intercept = a = 1/5, y-intercept = b = -7/11"#
