Graph this line using intercepts:
7x + 8y = -56
Click to select points on the graph.

Answer

Solution:

To graph the line using intercepts, we need to find the x-intercept and y-intercept.

  1. X-intercept: Set y = 0 in the equation 7x + 8y = -56.
    7x + 8(0) = -56
    7x = -56
    x = -56/7
    x = -8
    So, the x-intercept is (-8, 0).
  2. Y-intercept: Set x = 0 in the equation 7x + 8y = -56.
    7(0) + 8y = -56
    8y = -56
    y = -56/8
    y = -7
    So, the y-intercept is (0, -7).

Plot the points (-8, 0) and (0, -7) on the graph and draw a line through them to represent the equation 7x + 8y = -56.
