The equation 7x + 5y = 100 is in standard form. This form tells us the x and y intercepts easily.
What are the x and y intercepts?
(1 point)
• The line crosses the x-axis at (7/100, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 1/20).
• The line crosses the x-axis at (7, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 5).
• The line crosses the x-axis at (20, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 100/7).
• The line crosses the x-axis at (100/7, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 20).
Clearly wrong; just check those points in the equation.
However, if we divide by 100, we get
7/100 x + 5/100 y = 1
x/(100/7) + y/20 = 1
This is the intercept form; so the answer is
The line crosses the x-axis at (100/7, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 20).
I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct.
The line crosses the x-axis at (100/7, 0) and crosses the y-axis at (0, 20).
