Question

graph this line using intercepts: 42x - 60y = -4,200 click to select points on the graph.

Explanation:

Step1: Find x-intercept (y=0)

Substitute \( y = 0 \) into \( 42x - 60y = -4200 \):
\( 42x - 60(0) = -4200 \)
\( 42x = -4200 \)
\( x = \frac{-4200}{42} = -100 \)
So, x-intercept is \( (-100, 0) \).

Step2: Find y-intercept (x=0)

Substitute \( x = 0 \) into \( 42x - 60y = -4200 \):
\( 42(0) - 60y = -4200 \)
\( -60y = -4200 \)
\( y = \frac{-4200}{-60} = 70 \)
So, y-intercept is \( (0, 70) \).

Answer:

To graph the line \( 42x - 60y = -4200 \), plot the x-intercept \( (-100, 0) \) and y-intercept \( (0, 70) \), then draw a line through these two points.
