An electronics manufacturer has 140 capacitors, 2. and the same number of capacitors is needed for each circuit board made. The manufacturer uses the capacitors to make 35 circuit boards.

Let x be the number of circuit boards that can be produced and m be the number of capacitors per circuit board

y = mx

140 capacitors allowed the production of 35 boards.

140 = 35x

x = 4

No circuit boards can be made without capacitors so the line's y intercept is 0. No capacitors are used if no circuit boards are to be made so the x intercept is also 0.
