Question

Identify the x and y intercepts for the following equation, then convert to slope intercept form.

-5x – y= -15

X intercept: (___,0)
Y intercept: (0,___)

Slope intercept form y=___x+___

Please help me fill in the blanks :(

Answer 1

(3;0)

(0;15)

y=-5x+15

Explanation:

x-intercept

-5x–0=-15

-5x=-15

-5x/-5=-15/-5

x=3 》》(3;0)

y-intercept

-5(0)-y=-15

y=15 》》 (0;15)

slope intercept form

y=mx+b

m=Y2–Y1/X2–X1

=15–0/0–3

=15/-3

=-5

evalute (0;15) & m=-5 in y=mx+b

15=-5(0)+b

15=b

so

y=-5x+15
