Q. Find the x-intercept of the line 7x−17y=−28. 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, we need to set y to 0 and solve for x.Substitute 0 for y in the equation 7x−17y=−28.7x−17(0)=−287x=−28
Substitute y with 0: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 7 to solve for x.77x=7−28x=−4
