$color(violet)("x-intercept " = a = 25/3, " y-intercept " = -25$

$y = -3(9-x) - 7 + 9$

$"Intercept form of a linear equation is " x/a + y / b = 1$

$y = -27 + 3x - 7 + 9$

$y = 3x - 25$

$3x/25 - y/25 = 1$

$x / (25/3) + y / -25 = 1$

graph{3x - 25 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

$color(brown)("x-intercept " = 25/3$

$y = -3(9-x) - 7 + 9$

$y = -27 + 3x - 7 + 9$

$y = 3x - 25$

By equating y -> 0, we can get the x-intercept

$0 = 3x - 25$

$3x = 25 " or " x = 25/3$

$color(brown)("x-intercept " = 25/3$
