Answer: The required x-intercept of the given line is
$\left(-(15)/(13),0\right).$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the x-intercept of the line with the following equation :

13x+y=-15~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

x-intercept of a line is a point on the line where the line crosses the x-axis, that is y co-ordinate is 0.

Substituting y = 0 in equation (i), we get

$13x+y=--15\\\\\Rightarrow 13x+0=-15\\\\\Rightarrow 13x=-15\\\\\Rightarrow x=-(15)/(13).$

Thus, the required x-intercept of the given line is
$\left(-(15)/(13),0\right).$
