question 29

Multiple Choice

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept then graph the equation. $$y = \frac { 9 } { 8 } x + 4$$

• A) \(x\)-intercept: \(( 4,0 )\); \(y\)-intercept: \(\left( 0 , - \frac { 32 } { 9 } \right)\)
• B) \(x\)-intercept: \(( 0,0 )\); \(y\)-intercept: \(( 0,0 )\)
• C) \(x\)-intercept: \(\left( - \frac { 32 } { 9 } , 0 \right)\); \(y\)-intercept: \(( 0,4 )\)
• D) \(x\)-intercept: \(\left( - \frac { 8 } { 9 } , 0 \right)\); \(y\)-intercept: \(( 0,4 )\)
