Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.

y- 6 = 4(x + 5)
y-intercept:

x-intercept:

Answer 1

x intercept: -13/2

y intercept: 26

Explanation:

x intercept of the line is the point where y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into the expression;

0 - 6 = 4(X+5)

-6 = 4x + 20

4x = -6-20

4x = -26

x = -26/4

x = -13/2

y intercept is the point where x = 0

y - 6 = 4(0+5)

y-6 = 20

y = 20+6

y = 26
