Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 3x + y = 26. State your answers as whole numbers or as improper fractions in simplest form.

X-intercept = 26/3         Y-intercept = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitue y = 0 to find x-intercept

3x = 26

x = 26/3

Substitue x = 0 to find y-intercept

y = 26

y-intercept: 26

x-intercept: 26/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept let's put it into a linear equation format.

3x+y=26

*minus 3x on each side*

y=-3x+26

so the slope would be -3x

the y-intercept would be 26

and the x-intercept would be 8.6 (6 repeated)

Substitute y = 0 to find x-intercept from 3x+y=26

3x=26

divide each side by 3. the answer would be 8.6 repeated or 26/3

if you wanted to but to put 8.6 repeated into an improper fraction without knowing the fraction. the 6 repeated would be a 2/3 and 8*3 (to get a 3 as the denominator) would be 24/3 + 2/3 = 26/3
