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

Explanation:

-11y + 35x = 711y+35x=7

(35x - 11y)/7 = 135x11y7=1

5x - (11/7)y = 15x(117)y=1

x / (1/5) + y / -(7/11) = 1x15+y(711)=1

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

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