Find the coordinates of the y-intercept and the x-intercept, in that order.
-$$x + y = - 7$$
A) $( - 2,0 ) ( - 5,0 )$
B) $( - 7 , - 5 ) ( - 2 , - 7 )$
C) $( - 7,0 ) ( 0 , - 7 )$
D) $( 0 , - 2 ) ( 0 , - 5 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.
$$0 + y = - 7$$
$$y = - 7$$
Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -7).

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.
$$x + 0 = - 7$$
$$x = - 7$$
Therefore, the x-intercept is (-7, 0).

Choice C gives these coordinates.
