What are the intercepts of #-17y-x=7#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts and the Cover-Up Method 1 Answer Ujjwal Mar 5, 2018 #x-"intercept"=-7# #y-"intercept"=-7/17# Explanation: #-17y-x=7# For finding #x#-intercept , put #y=0#. #=> -17(0)-x=7# #=> -x=7# #=> x=-7# We got #x#-intercept #=-7#. For finding #y#-intercept , put #x=0#. #=> -17y-(0)=7# #=> -17y=7# #=> y=-7/17# We got #y#-intercept #=-7/17#.
