Determine the intercepts of the line 7x-5=4y-6

x intercepts: ( , )

y intercepts: ( , )

x-intercept: -1/7

y-intercept: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

change equation into standard form:  7x - 4y = -1

set 'x' to zero and solve for y:  0 - 4y = -1

                                                        y = 1/4

set 'y' to zero and solve for x:  7x - 0 = -1

                                                        x = -1/7

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
