Answer:
[tex]\frac{17}4; -\frac{17}3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Option 1: check the intersection of the curve with both axis by plugging x=0 (y axis) and y=0 (x axis). You will get
[tex]x=0 \implies 0-3y=17 \rightarrow y=-\frac{17}3\\y=0 \implies 4x-0=17 \rightarrow x=\frac{17}4[/tex]
Option2: (my favourite. Divide by 17 both sides to write the equation as [tex]\frac xp + \frac yq = 1[/tex]: p and q will give you the two intercepts:
[tex]4x-3y=17 \rightarrow \frac{4}{17}x - \frac3{17}y = 1 \rightarrow \frac{x}{\frac{17}4}+ \frac{y}{-\frac{17}3}=1[/tex]
Again, the two intercepts are [tex]\frac{17}4; -\frac{17}3[/tex]
