The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

               (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                    (Apply additive identity property: )

            (Divide each side by  3.5)

                    (Cancel common terms)

                           (Divide: )

The y-intercept is 2 , so the graph intersects the y-axis at .

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

           (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                     (Multiply:  )

                           (Apply additive identity property: )

The x-intercept is 7. ,so the graph intersects the x-axis at .

Graph Using Intercepts:

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.

  x-intercept is 7 and  y-intercept is 2.
