Stanley is running a 5-mile race. he runs 1-mile every 7 minutes. Stanley's distance from the finish line after "x" minutes is represented by the function x+7y=35.

Find the x-intercept and find the y-intercept.

To find the x-intercept and find the y-intercept, we need to write the equation given as the line equation of the form:

y = mx + b, where m is the line's slope and b is the y-intercept, so lets use the equation given and give it that form:

x + 7y = 35

7y = 35 - x

y = (-1/7) x + 5

therefore the y-intercept is 5, that means that when x = 0, y = 5

Now lets find out what happens when y = 0 with x, and that will be the x-intercept:

y = (-1/7) x + 5

0 = (-1/7) x + 5

(1/7) x = 5

x = 7*5

x = 35

therefore the x intercept is 35, which means that when y = 0, x = 35
