Answer:
[tex]\frac{17}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the y-incercept, it's easier if we have the formula written like this:
[tex]y=ax+b[/tex]
Where "b" represents the y-incercept.
So we have to isolate Y from the equation:
[tex]9x+16y=17\\16y=17-9x\\y=\frac{17-9x}{16} \\y=\frac{17}{16} -\frac{9}{16}x[/tex]
The y-intercept is the number that doesn't have X ("b"), so in this case the y-intercept is: [tex]\frac{17}{16}[/tex]
Answer:
x-intercept = 17/9
y-intercept = 17/16
Step-by-step explanation:
rearranging the given equation to
[tex]9x+16y-17=0[/tex]
then using the straight line equation
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]
calculating the y-intercept when x=0, y is 17/16 the line cuts y-axis at y=1.06250
[tex]y-intercept =17/16=1.06250[/tex]
calculating the x-intercept when y=0 the value of x is 17/9 therefore cuts the x-axis at 1.88889
[tex]x-intercept=17/9=1.88889[/tex]
