To find the x and y intercepts of the equation \(7x + 5y = 100\):
Finding the x-intercept:
To determine the x-intercept, we set \(y\) to 0 and solve for \(x\):
\[
7x + 5(0) = 100
\]
\[
7x = 100
\]
\[
x = \frac{100}{7}
\]
So, the x-intercept is at the point \(\left(\frac{100}{7}, 0\right)\).
Finding the y-intercept:
To determine the y-intercept, we set \(x\) to 0 and solve for \(y\):
\[
7(0) + 5y = 100
\]
\[
5y = 100
\]
\[
y = \frac{100}{5} = 20
\]
So, the y-intercept is at the point \((0, 20)\).
Summary of intercepts:
- x-intercept: \(\left(\frac{100}{7}, 0\right)\)
- y-intercept: \((0, 20)\)
Correct Response:
Therefore, the correct statement is:
The line crosses the x-axis at \((\frac{100}{7}, 0)\) and crosses the y-axis at \((0, 20)\).
