7x + 4y = 8


Here we will show you how to calculate and provide solutions to math problems related to 7x + 4y = 8.

We will start by calculating and showing you the solution for the x-intercept and y-intercept of 7x + 4y = 8.

Then, we will show you how to get the graph plot coordinates for 7x + 4y = 8 so we can illustrate it on a graph.

Finally, we will solve 7x + 4y = 8 for x and also for y, then calculate and show you the solution for the slope of 7x + 4y = 8.




Find x-intercept
The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.

7x + 4y = 8
7x + 4(0) = 8
x1 = 1.143    y1 = 0

Find y-intercept
The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.

7x + 4y = 8
7(0) + 4y = 8
y2 = 2    x2 = 0




Get Graph Plot Coordinates
Getting two graph points will allow you to make a straight line on a graph. The plot coordinate format is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

Thus, we use the x-intercept and y-intercept results above to get the graph plots for 7x + 4y = 8 as follows:

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
(1.143,0) and (0,2)




Solve for x
To solve for x, we solve the equation so the variable x is by itself on the left side:

7x + 4y = 8
x = 1.143 - 0.571y

Solve for y
To solve for y, we solve the equation so the variable y is by itself on the left side:

7x + 4y = 8
y = 2 - 1.75x



Find slope
The slope of the line (m) is the steepness of the line. It is the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate. Simply plug in the coordinates from above and solve for m to get the slope for 7x + 4y = 8

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (2 - 0)/(0 - 1.143)
m = -1.75
