Question

Graph the line 6x-5y=30
. State the x- and y-intercepts.

Answer 1

x-intercept=(5,0) y-intercept =(0,-6)

Explanation:

to find the x-intercept you substitute 0 in for y so the you're left with 6x=30 and you divide it by 6 on both sides leaving you with x=5

To find the y- intercept you set x=0 which leaves you with -5y=30 and you divide both sides by -5 and you're left with y=-6
