8x - 5y = -14
To find the y -intercept, put x=0 and then solve for y
8(0) - 5y = -14
0 - 5y=-14
-5y = -14
Divide both-side of the equation by -5
y = -14/-5
y =2.8
The y-intercept is 2.8
To find the x-intercept, put y=0 and then solve for x
That is;
8x - 5(0) = -14
8x - 0 = -14
8x = -14
divide both-side of the equation by 8
x = -14/8
x= -1.75
x-intercept is - 1.75
