Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 9/8x + 8y = 18. then graph the equation.

x-intercept (16, 0), y-intercept (0, 9/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x-intercept from your equation, you can substitute y = 0, then solve for x.

Now you need to clear x, later you will need to multiply 18 by 8 and divide by 9.

x =

x = 16

The point is (16, 0)

Now, for finding the y-intercept

Since you have the equation, you need to change it to slope intercept form, remember the general equation is Y = mX + b .

first substract in both sides of the equation:

Now divide by 8

Then simplify

Finally substitute x = 0, and you will find the value of y:

So the point is (0, )

For the graph, substitute different values of x and solve for y in the equation , you can see the graph in the attached file, also you will see the values in fracction and decimal points in the table.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
