How do you find the x and y intercepts for #y = 4/7#?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

y-intercept: #4/7color(white)("XXXXX")#There is no x-intecept

The line represented by the equation #y=4/7#

crosses the Y-axis at the point #(x,y) = (0,4/7)# So the y-intercept is #(4/7)#

it is a horizontal line which does not cross the X-axis So the x-intercept does not exist.

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y. For the equation y = 4/7, the x-intercept is undefined because it's a horizontal line and doesn't intersect the x-axis. The y-intercept is y = 4/7.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
