Question

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line 2x-5y= -6

Answer 1

Explanation:

2x - 5y = 6

5y = 2x - 6

y = 2/5x - 6/5

y-intercept is -6/5

x-intercept is when you say that y = 0

and so 6/5 = 2/5x

x = 6/2 = 3

Answer 2

To find y intercept, make x equal zero

2(0)-5y=-6

-5y=-8

y is equal to 8/5

To find x intercept, make y equal zero

2x-5(0)=-6

2x=-1

x is equal to -1/2
