Q. Find the x-intercept of the line 7x+12y=−14. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
Set y to 0: To find the x-intercept of the line, we need to set y to 0 and solve for x. This is because the x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, and at this point, the value of y is 0.Calculation: Substitute y=0 into the equation 7x+12y=−14.7x+12(0)=−1400
Calculate x: Now, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 7.77x=7−14x=−2
