The intercepts of the graph can be found by setting x or y to zero and solving for the other variable. Setting x to zero gives y = ±2, while setting y to zero gives x = ±7. Therefore, the intercepts are (7, 0), (-7, 0), (0, 2), and (0, -2), which are all included in choice A. The intercepts of a linear equation are the points where the graph of the equation intersects the x-axis and the y-axis. To find the x-intercepts, we set y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercepts, we set x = 0 and solve for y. From the given options, only option A has both x-intercepts (-7,0) and (7,0) and both y-intercepts (0,2) and (0,-2).
