Here is another post with two of the same questions on it:

1.     y  =  log(7x + 3) - 2

 

To find the x-intercept, plug in  0  for  y  and solve for  x .

 

0  =  log(7x + 3) - 2     Add  2  to both sides of the equation.

2  =  log(7x + 3)          Exponentiate both sides with a base of  10 .

102  =  10log(7x + 3)

100  =  7x + 3             Subtract  3  from both sides.

97  =  7x                     Divide both sides by  7 .

97/7  =  x

 

the x-intercept   =   97/7   ≈  13.86

 

To find the  y-intercept, plug in  0  for  x  and solve for  y .

 

y  =  log(7(0) + 3) - 2         Simplify.

y  =  log(3) - 2                   Plug this into a calculator to get...

y  ≈  -1.52

 

the y-intercept   ≈   -1.52
