when y = 0

0 = (7/8)x + 10 0=(78)x+10
-10 = (7/8)x −10=(78)x
x = -10(8/7) x=−10(87)
x = -11 3/7 x=−1137

when x = 0

y= 7/8(0) +10 y=78(0)+10
y= 10y=10

Explanation:

This is a linear line graph increasing from left to right because 7/878 is a positive gradient.

graph{y=7/8x+10 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The line will intercept y-axis when the x is 0 and it will intercept x-axis when y = 0.
