3x - 7y + 2 = 0
We need to
find intercepts and gradient.
First we will find
x-intercept.
The x-intercept is when the line
meets the x-axis, then y values will be zero.
==> y=
0 ==> 3x + 2 = 0 ==> x = -2/3
Then the
x-intercept is the point ( -2/3 , 0)
The y-intercept is the
point where the line meets the y-axis, then x value is
0.
==> x = 0 ==> -7y +2 = 0 ==> y=
2/7
Then the y-intercept is the point ( 0,
2/7)
The gradient is the slope of the
line.
We will rewrite the line equation into the slope
form.
==> 3x - 7y + 2 =
0
==> y = (-3x -2)/-7 = (3/7)x +
2/7
==> y= (3/7)x +
2/7
Then the gradient of the line is m =
3/7
Then the intercepts are the
points (-2/3, 0) and (0, 2/7) and the gradient is
3/7.
