Consider the line 7x+4y−28=07x + 4y - 28 = 0. Answer the following: a. Part 1: (i) Rewrite the equation in the form y=mx+cy = mx + c and hence state the slope and the yy-intercept. b. Part 2: (ii) Find the xx-intercept of the line. c. Part 3: (iii) Sketch the line on a Cartesian plane, clearly indicating both intercepts. d. Part 4: (iv) The line together with the coordinate axes encloses a triangle in the first quadrant. Calculate the area of this triangle. e. Part 5: (v) A point P(t,0)P(t, 0) is chosen on the xx-axis such that the area of △OPQ\triangle OPQ is 42 square units, where OO is the origin and QQ is the yy-intercept. Find the two possible values of tt.
