Question: The x-intercept of the graph of $ 7x-3y=2 $ is
Options:
A) $ \frac{3}{4} $
B) $ \frac{3}{7} $
C) $ \frac{2}{5} $
D) $ \frac{2}{7} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- At X-axis, y-coordinate = 0
$ \therefore $ On putting y = 0 in $ 7x-3y=2, $ we get $ 7x-3\times 0=2 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 7x=2 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{2}{7} $
Similarly, putting x = 0 in $ 7x-3y=2, $ we get
$ y=-\frac{2}{3} $
Hence, x -intercept is $ \frac{2}{7}. $
